remoteproc: resource table overhaul

The resource table is an array of 'struct fw_resource' members, where
each resource entry is expressed as a single member of that array.

This approach got us this far, but it has a few drawbacks:

1. Different resource entries end up overloading the same members of 'struct
   fw_resource' with different meanings. The resulting code is error prone
   and hard to read and maintain.

2. It's impossible to extend 'struct fw_resource' without breaking the
   existing firmware images (and we already want to: we can't introduce the
   new virito device resource entry with the current scheme).

3. It doesn't scale: 'struct fw_resource' must be as big as the largest
   resource entry type. As a result, smaller resource entries end up
   utilizing only small part of it.

This is fixed by defining a dedicated structure for every resource type,
and then converting the resource table to a list of type-value members.
Instead of a rigid array of homogeneous structs, the resource table
is turned into a collection of heterogeneous structures.

This way:
1. Resource entries consume exactly the amount of bytes they need.
2. It's easy to extend: just create a new resource entry structure, and assign
   it a new type.
3. The code is easier to read and maintain: the structures' members names are
   meaningful.

While we're at it, this patch has several other resource table changes:
1. The resource table gains a simple header which contains the
   number of entries in the table and their offsets within the table. This
   makes the parsing code simpler and easier to read.
2. A version member is added to the resource table. Should we change the
   format again, we'll bump up this version to prevent breakage with
   existing firmware images.
3. The VRING and VIRTIO_DEV resource entries are combined to a single
   VDEV entry. This paves the way to supporting multiple VDEV entries.
4. Since we don't really support 64-bit rprocs yet, convert two stray u64
   members to u32.

 Some resources entries are mere announcements, where the host is informed
 of specific remoteproc configuration. Other entries require the host to
-do something (e.g. reserve a requested resource) and possibly also reply
-by overwriting a member inside 'struct fw_resource' with info about the
-allocated resource.
-
-Different resource entries use different members of this struct,
-with different meanings. This is pretty limiting and error-prone,
-so the plan is to move to variable-length TLV-based resource entries,
-where each resource will begin with a type and length fields, followed by
-its own specific structure.
+do something (e.g. allocate a system resource). Sometimes a negotiation
+is expected, where the firmware requests a resource, and once allocated,
+the host should provide back its details (e.g. address of an allocated
+memory region).

-Most of the resource entries share the basic idea of address/length
-negotiation with the host: the firmware usually asks for memory
-of size 'len' bytes, and the host needs to allocate it and provide
-the device/physical address (when relevant) in 'da'/'pa' respectively.
-
-If the firmware is compiled with hard coded device addresses, and
-can't handle dynamically allocated 'da' values, then the 'da' field
-will contain the expected device addresses (today we actually only support
-this scheme, as there aren't yet any use cases for dynamically allocated
-device addresses).
+For more details regarding a specific resource type, please see its
+dedicated structure in include/linux/remoteproc.h.
 
 We also expect that platform-specific resource entries will show up
-at some point. When that happens, we could easily add a new RSC_PLAFORM
+at some point. When that happens, we could easily add a new RSC_PLATFORM
 type, and hand those resources to the platform-specific rproc driver to handle.
 
 7. Virtio and remoteproc
 
 The firmware should provide remoteproc information about virtio devices
-that it supports, and their configurations: a RSC_VIRTIO_DEV resource entry
-should specify the virtio device id, and subsequent RSC_VRING resource entries
-should indicate the vring size (i.e. how many buffers do they support) and
-where should they be mapped (i.e. which device address). Note: the alignment
-between the consumer and producer parts of the vring is assumed to be 4096.
-
-At this point we only support a single virtio rpmsg device per remote
-processor, but the plan is to remove this limitation. In addition, once we
-move to TLV-based resource table, the plan is to have a single RSC_VIRTIO
-entry per supported virtio device, which will include the virtio header,
-the vrings information and the virtio config space.
-
-Of course, RSC_VIRTIO resource entries are only good enough for static
+that it supports, and their configurations: a RSC_VDEV resource entry
+should specify the virtio device id (as in virtio_ids.h), virtio features,
+virtio config space, vrings information, etc.
+
+When a new remote processor is registered, the remoteproc framework
+will look for its resource table and will register the virtio devices
+it supports. A firmware may support any number of virtio devices, and
+of any type (a single remote processor can also easily support several
+rpmsg virtio devices this way, if desired).
+
+Of course, RSC_VDEV resource entries are only good enough for static
 allocation of virtio devices. Dynamic allocations will also be made possible
 using the rpmsg bus (similar to how we already do dynamic allocations of
 rpmsg channels; read more about it in rpmsg.txt).
