[PATCH v5 1/5] dt-bindings: remoteproc: imx_rproc: Add "rpmsg" subnode support

Shenwei Wang
2025-11-04T20:34:30Z

Remote processors may announce multiple devices (e.g., I2C, GPIO) over
an RPMSG channel. These devices may require corresponding device tree
nodes, especially when acting as providers, to supply phandles for their
consumers.

Define an RPMSG node to work as a container for a group of RPMSG channels
under the imx_rproc node.

Each subnode within "rpmsg" represents an individual RPMSG channel. The
name of each subnode corresponds to the channel name as defined by the
remote processor.

All remote devices associated with a given channel are defined as child
nodes under the corresponding channel node.
