This RFC follows discussions in OpenAMP meeting around a resource manager 
for the remote processor.
Here is a patchset that implements a system resource management.
By system resource we speak about resource that is requested to operate
a peripheral, used by a remote processor. These resources can introduce 
potential contention if they are not controlled by one core.

In this first patch-set the system resource manager configures and enables 
the following system resources.
- Clocks
- GPIOs
- Regulators 

Theses resources are declared in devicetree sub-nodes of the resource manager.
A subnode corresponds to one peripheral used by the remote processor.
For each peripheral a generic driver can be probed to handle the system
resource. Developer can also define his own driver for more complexe use 
cases.

Know limitations:
- Assignement of a peripheral is static. Means that peripheral assignement
  can not switch from one core to another core during runtime.
- Configuration of the system resources are also static. No update of a 
resource configuration during runtime.

=> Both limitations could be treated adding in a dynamic aspect based on a 
RPMsg service.
TI already implements a solution (which could be easily port on the top of this series):
