Why exactly do you need a new driver for this instead of extending

existing code and merge with it...

Previously we raised patch to add secure-pil to existing rproc driver. Bjorn suggested to introduce a new secure-pil driver.

Also IPQ5018, IPQ9574 soc's follows multipd model. So we decided to
have new driver which consists 'secure-pil + multi pd' in one
place.
