Some Texas Instruments K3 family of SoCs have one of more Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) subsystems that are comprised of either a TMS320C66x
CorePac and/or a next-generation TMS320C71x CorePac processor subsystem.
Add the device tree bindings document for the C66x DSP devices on these
SoCs. The added example illustrates the DT nodes for the first C66x DSP
device present on the K3 J721E family of SoCs.

The Texas Instruments K3 family of SoCs have one of more dual-core
Arm Cortex R5F processor subsystems/clusters (R5FSS). Add the device
tree bindings document for these R5F subsystem devices. These R5F
processors do not have an MMU, and so require fixed memory carveout
regions matching the firmware image addresses. The nodes require more
than one memory region, with the first memory region used for DMA
allocations at runtime. The remaining memory regions are reserved
and are used for the loading and running of the R5F remote processors.
The added example illustrates the DT nodes for the single R5FSS device
present on K3 AM65x family of SoCs.

K3 specific SoCs have a dedicated microcontroller for doing
resource management. Any HLOS/firmware on compute clusters should
load a firmware to this microcontroller before accessing any resource.
Adding support for loading this firmware.
After the K3 system controller got loaded with firmware and started
up it sends out a boot notification message through the secure proxy
facility using the TI SCI protocol. Intercept and receive this message
through the rproc start operation which will need to get invoked
explicitly after the firmware got loaded.

Many System on Chip(SoC) solutions are complex with multiple processors
on the same die dedicated to either general purpose of specialized
functions. Many examples do exist in today's SoCs from various vendors.
Typical examples are micro controllers such as an ARM M3/M0 doing a
offload of specific function such as event integration or power
management or controlling camera etc.
Traditionally, the responsibility of loading up such a processor with a
firmware and communication has been with a High Level Operating
System(HLOS) such as Linux. However, there exists classes of products
where Linux would need to expect services from such a processor or the
delay of Linux and operating system being able to load up such a
firmware is unacceptable.
To address these needs, we need some minimal capability to load such a
system and ensure it is started prior to an Operating System(Linux or
any other) is started up.
NOTE: This is NOT meant to be a solve-all solution, instead, it tries to
address certain class of SoCs and products that need such a solution.
A very simple model is introduced here as part of the initial support
that supports microcontrollers with internal memory (no MMU, no
execution from external memory, or specific image format needs). This
basic framework can then (hopefully) be extensible to other complex SoC
processor support as need be.
