[PATCH v5] remoteproc: imx_dsp_rproc: add module parameter to ignore ready flag from remote processor

From: Iuliana Prodan (OSS)
Date: Fri Feb 17 2023 - 04:42:58 EST


From: Iuliana Prodan <iuliana.prodan@xxxxxxx>

There are cases when we want to test a simple "hello world"
application on the DSP and we don't have IPC between the cores.
Therefore, do not wait for a confirmation from the remote processor
at start.

Added "no_mailboxes" flag while inserting the module to not initialize
any mailboxes, and so ignore remote processor reply after start.
By default, this is off - do not ignore reply from rproc.

Changes since v4
- s/ignore_dsp_ready/no_mailboxes
- make imx_dsp_rproc_mbox_init() a function pointer which,
based on the no_mailboxes module parameter, can initialize
the mailboxes (= imx_dsp_rproc_mbox_alloc()), in case they exists,
otherwise does nothing (= imx_dsp_rproc_mbox_no_alloc()).

Changes since v3
- do not instantiate static var to 0, this is done by default
- do not initialize mailbox if not IPC between the core

Changes since v2
- s/ignoreready/ignore_dsp_ready

Changes since v1
- change BIT(31) to BIT(1) for REMOTE_SKIP_WAIT
