'rproc' is what this is called in the h/w manual?

-names is kind of pointless when there is only 1 entry.

This is implied.

-names is kind of pointless when there is only 1 entry.

How would one talk to the processor if this is optional?

How many?

How do you know what is and isn't default firmware? Seems like this 
could be accomplished using the standard 'firmware-name' to specify what 
firmware to load and boot.

Doesn't seem like a static DT property. This is a feature to enable or 
something you set on boot to recover?
