Please explain this without OS specific terms. Seems to me this would be implied by functionality the remote proc provides. Rob

Please > explain this without OS specific terms. The remoteproc state machine is gaining in complexity and having technical terms in the binding's description helps understand when and how it should be used. I could make it more generic but that will lead to confusion and abuse. Should I make it "rproc,autonomous-on-core-reboot" ? > > Seems to me this would be implied by functionality the remote proc > provides. Exactly - this binding is used by the remoteproc core itself. It is specified in the remote processor DT nodes but the individual platform drivers don't do anything with it - the core takes care of enacting the desired behavior on their behalf. Otherwise each platform driver would end up adding the same code, which nobody wants to see happening. How do you want me to proceed? Thanks, Mathieu > > Rob

The platform drivers just need to set a flag to enable some behavior that the core code checks and handles. That should be 1 to a few lines in the drivers. It's not really any different, just a question of where the flag lives. Rob

This patch adds a binding to guide the remoteproc core on how to deal with remote processors in two cases: 1) When an application holding a reference to a remote processor character device interface crashes. 2) when the platform driver for a remote processor is removed. In both cases if "autonomous-on-core-reboot" is specified in the remote processor DT node, the remoteproc core will detach the remote processor rather than switching it off.
