Main updates from version V18[2]: - rework documentation for the release_fw ops - rework function documentation in remoteproc_tee.c - replace spinlock by mutex and generalize usage in remoteproc_tee.c
Main updates from version V17[1]: - Fix: warning: EXPORT_SYMBOL() is used, but #include <linux/export.h> is missing

Tested-on: commit 19272b37aa4f ("Linux 6.16-rc1")
Description of the feature: -------------------------- This series proposes the implementation of a remoteproc tee driver to communicate with a TEE trusted application responsible for authenticating and loading the remoteproc firmware image in an Arm secure context.
1) Principle:
The remoteproc tee driver provides services to communicate with the OP-TEE trusted application running on the Trusted Execution Context (TEE). The trusted application in TEE manages the remote processor lifecycle:
- authenticating and loading firmware images, - isolating and securing the remote processor memories, - supporting multi-firmware (e.g., TF-M + Zephyr on a Cortex-M33), - managing the start and stop of the firmware by the TEE.
2) Format of the signed image:
Refer to: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/src/remoteproc_...
3) OP-TEE trusted application API:
Refer to: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/include/ta_remo...
4) OP-TEE signature script
Refer to: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/scripts/sign_rproc_fw.py
Example of usage: sign_rproc_fw.py --in <fw1.elf> --in <fw2.elf> --out <signed_fw.sign> --key ${OP-TEE_PATH}/keys/default.pem
5) Impact on User space Application
No sysfs impact. The user only needs to provide the signed firmware image instead of the ELF image.
For more information about the implementation, a presentation is available here (note that the format of the signed image has evolved between the presentation and the integration in OP-TEE).
