Hi Rob,

Sorry it took a while to answer back but we wanted to do some research
to make sure the reply is correct.


The System Device Tree version of the OpenAMP remoteproc bindings aims
at being simpler and vendor-neutral. As anything else System Device
Tree, Lopper will read it and generate a "traditional" device tree with
the existing remoteproc bindings. In that sense, it might not affect
Linux directly.

However, given the fragmentation of the remoteproc bindings across
multiple vendors (they are all different), I think it is a good idea for
Linux, for System Device Tree, and in general to come up with simpler
remoteproc bindings, more aligned between the vendors. If nothing else,
it is going to make Lopper's development easier.


So I think it is a good idea to take this opportunity to simplify the
Xilinx remoteproc bindings as you suggested. The idea of to removing the
TCM nodes is a good one. In addition I asked Ben to have a look at
whether the mboxes and mbox-names properties can be removed too.

Ben will reply with a simplified bindings proposal.
