Most of the SoCs in the R-Car gen3 SoC series such as
H3,M3 and E3 have an 'Arm Realtime Core'.
This Realtime core is an Arm Cortex-R7 clocked at 800MHz.
This series adds initial support to load a firmware and start
this remote processor through the remoteproc subsystem.

This series depends on
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-renesas-soc/patch/20211022122101.66998-1-julien.massot@iot.bzh/
to be able to set the Cortex-R7 boot address.

One of the way to test this driver is to  use the zephyr upstream support
for h3ulcb board 'blinky' demo is my favorite testing firmware.

To generate a firmware with the zephyr project.

follow this starting guide
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/2.7.0/getting_started/index.html

Then compile your zephyr demo
west build -b rcar_h3ulcb_cr7 zephyr/samples/basic/blinky \
    -DCONFIG_KERNEL_ENTRY=\"_vector_table\" \
    --build-dir h3-blinky

Then you can use h3-blinky/zephyr/zephyr.elf as a testing
firmware.

Patch 1/3 adds the dt-bindings

Patch 2/3 adds entries into the dts/dtsi files for r8a77951,
my testing platform. This driver has also been tested on E3 and M3,
but lacks proper zephyr support at the moment.

Modifications to r8a77951-ulcb.dts are given as usage example
and may be dropped in future patchset since it use some memory
range that may be reserved for other usage.

Patch 3/3 is a small driver to cover basic remoteproc
usage: loading firmware from filesystem, starting and stopping the
Cortex-r7 processor.
