This is great. We have been working on something similar and I think it would
be great if we can collaborate to get all our needs addressed.

Our primary requirement is that it should be possible for a user (e.g. kernel driver) to
- request a specific PRU core load a specific firmware blob and boot/stop the PRU.
- configure INTC interrupt mapping based on either resource table or DT
- use request_irq to request and use an interrupt.
- request access to DRAM/SRAM
- configure gpimode/miirt/xfr (CFG space)

The work is published here

PRUSS platform bus driver (platform resets & quirks)

PRUSS core driver (resource management e.g. SRAM/DRAM for clients)

PRU Rproc driver (PRU remoteproc driver)

INTC driver (irqchip support for INTC)

Please have a look at it. I think it addresses most if not all of what your series addresses.
Maybe Suman and you can decide which driver to start with and get the missing pieces addressed.

An example of a client driver

and DT node for that
