Subject: [PATCH v3 00/14] remoteproc: Add support for synchronisaton with
rproc

What's the status of this thread? Will this be applied or requires a new v4?

It will not be applied as more work needs to be done.  As one of the
people this feature will benefit, it would be really nice if you could
take the time to comment on the solution that is brought forward.

Thanks,
Peng.

This is the third revision of this series that tries to address the problem of
synchronising with a remote processor with as much flexibility as possible.

Two things to pay attention to:

1) Function rproc_actuate() has been abandoned to avoid creating another
   way to start a remote processor from a kernel driver.  Arnaud expressed
   the opinion that it is semantically questionnable to synchronise with a
   remote processor when calling rproc_boot().  We could rename
   rproc_boot() to rproc_actuate() but I'll wait to see what other people
   think before doing so.

2) The allocation of the synchronisation states has been split from the
   remote processor allocation.  A new function rproc_set_state_machine()
   does all the work now.  Proceeding this way has made the patchset a
   lot more simple.

Other than the above I have tried to address all the comments made on the
second revision.  If a comment was not addressed it simply fell through the
cracks rather than ignored.  In such a case please reiterate your point
of view and I'll be sure to address it.

Applies cleanly on rproc-next (305ac5a766b1).

Best regards,
Mathieu
