[PATCH v3 2/7] remoteproc: Extract the firmware load from the start

From: Arnaud Pouliquen
Date: Wed Feb 14 2024 - 12:27:43 EST


With the introduction of tee_remoteproc, the firmware has to be loaded
first before parsing the resource table. This constraint is linked to
the firmware authentication, that contains the resource table.
In OP-TEE, this authentication is correlated with the load of the
firmware (the loaded segments authenticated after being copied
to the destination memory). Removing rproc_load_segments will allow
it to be called earlier in the boot sequence.
