To simplify the review, if requested, I can send it in > several steps listed above. No new revision of this series planned, but move forward by splitting it in 3 new series to ease the review. The first step is addressed here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-remoteproc/list/?series=446305 > > Known current Limitations: > - Tested only with virtio RPMsg bus.
