This patch is causing a kernel crash with trace entries. Please see
further below for the cause.

Same comment from Patch 1.

Hmm, what was the purpose of this? So, this appears to be handling the
missing implementation for the comment in the fw_rsc_carveout about
FW_RSC_ADDR_ANY.

We don't need the typecast, mem->dma is already of type dma_addr_t. Same
comment above on the else part as well.

Once we get rid of rproc_add_carveout, the list addition will mostly be
handled in rproc_mem_entry_init itself.

This is causing an issue with RSC_TRACE on where the trace region on the
remote processor is actually backed by a DDR carveout address. The
allocations are now being done after processing the resources from the
rproc_loading_handlers, which causes the RSC_TRACE to be configured with
an incorrect kernel va, and accessing it through debugfs then results in
a kernel crash.
