[PATCH] remoteproc: imx_dsp: acquire runtime PM before adding carveouts

From: Pengpeng Hou

Date: Sun Aug 30 2026 - 09:33:30 EST


The prepare callback publishes DSP carveouts before acquiring the
runtime-PM reference that establishes required clocks and mailbox state.
A PM failure therefore leaves the prepare transaction partially
published.

Acquire runtime PM first and drop that reference if carveout
construction fails, so a failed prepare does not add resources before
its hardware prerequisite.
