ok. i.MX95 is not supported in upstream. But this error seems
valid to other i.MX SoCs.

With M7 binary being packed in flash.bin(boot image used by ROM and SCMI firmware),
M7 is in a separate logic machine, and linux has no permission
to control M7.

But if M7 does not publish a valid resource table, linux will report
error when using the resource table from the fixed address(rsc_table).

So to make it clear, I would update the commit log:

To support cases remote cores are started by ROM/System Firmware/bootloader,
"rsc-table" property is to indicate the address of resource table to build
rpmsg connection between Linux and remote cores. However remote cores
may not publish a valid resource table or resource table is attacked
to be filled with garbage data.

Then when remoteproc driver handles the resource table, it will
report "Failed to process resources: -22", then failed attach to
remote cores. In this cases, to avoid memory leak, need to free
the allocated resources.

This was found on i.MX95, but it also applies to i.MX93 and i.MX8M family.

---------------------

You may need to wait Mathieu to see whether he agrees on the upper update
or you have more information to be added.
