Hello Beleswar,

Thanks for reviews. Please find my answer below:

Ack. 'node' is platform management firmware term, which might not be
right here. subject line already contains remoteproc so no need to have
it again. Instead, will replace 'node' with 'core'. new subject:

remoteproc: xlnx: check remote core state.

That is expected. If remote core is 'offline' during driver probe then
any firmware already in the memory becomes irrelevant and new firmware
can be loaded.

Yes. Not all the firmware that is running on remote core is expected to
have the resource table. The firmware might not use RPMsg at all, and in
that case resource table becomes irrelevant. However, we still need to
make sure that running core is not reported as offline.
