Agree.
Do you need me to post a fix for
commit efdde3d73ab25ce("remoteproc: core: Clear table_sz when rproc_shutdown")
by clearing table_sz in rproc_fw_boot and rproc_detach as did in this v2?
To i.MX, the above in-tree patch is ok, so all it fine, and this v2 patch
could be dropped.
But anyway, if you prefer a follow up fix, please let me know, I
could post a patch.
Thanks,
Peng
