The remoteproc core has support for both stopping and detaching a
remote processor that was attached to previously, through both the
remoteproc sysfs and cdev interfaces. The rproc_shutdown() though
unconditionally only uses the stop functionality at present. This
may not be the default desired functionality for all the remoteproc
platform drivers.

Introduce a new rproc state flag 'detach_on_shutdown' that individual
remoteproc drivers can set to only allow detach in rproc_shutdown()
that would have been invoked when the driver is uninstalled, so that
remote processor continues to run undisturbed even after the driver
removal.

I dislike the introduction of knobs for everything and would much rather
see that we define some sound defaults. Can we make shutdown just do
detach() if that's supported otherwise stop().

I maybe missing your point, but the change in remoteproc_core below exactly does
that, right? Are you saying drop the checks in remoteproc_cdev and remoteproc_sysfs?

The asymmetry did bug me as well, but it is already existing even before this
patch. I personally would have preferred a cleaner and symmetrical attach,
start, stop, detach, but existing code has overloaded attach into start (keys
off by RPROC_OFFLINE/RPROC_DETACHED) while introducing a separate detach from
stop. I have retained the meaning of stop as shutdown from userspace interface
perspective, but enforcing the checks for detach only remoteprocs.

The logic in rproc_shutdown is for driver paths.

This still allows userspace to explicitly stop the detachable remoteproc
before shutdown, if for some reason that's what you want...

This is the existing behavior and the difference between stop and detach. That
behavior is maintained for remoteprocs not setting the detach_on_shutdown flag.
I am only restricting the behavior for those that set it.

Mathieu,
Your thoughts on this?

Suman
