Why exactly do you need a new driver for this instead of extending
existing PIL? I feel all this is growing because no one wants to touch
existing code and merge with it...

Previously we raised patch to add secure-pil to existing rproc driver.
Bjorn suggested to introduce a new secure-pil driver.

Also IPQ5018, IPQ9574 soc's follows multipd model. So we decided to
have new driver which consists 'secure-pil + multi pd' in one
place.

Would it be possible to have IPQ8074 and IPQ6018 support in it as well?
Cause, those are supported by ath11k but remoteproc support is missing,
I have been upstreaming parts for IPQ8074 for years now and it is usable but
we are still missing remoteproc.

Yes. It's possible. Currently we added support for IPQ5018, IPQ9574.
In subsequent patches, we will add IPQ8074, IPQ6018 & IPQ5332 support
as well.
