[PATCH v4] remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: support loading MBN file on msm8974
From: Dmitry Baryshkov
Date: Sun Jul 06 2025 - 10:47:40 EST
From: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@xxxxxxxxxx>
On MSM8974 / APQ8074, MSM8226 and MSM8926 the MSS requires loading raw
MBA image instead of the ELF file. Skip the ELF headers if mba.mbn was
specified as the firmware image.
Fixes: a5a4e02d083d ("remoteproc: qcom: Add support for parsing fw dt bindings")
