Enable the CMA and DMA_CMA Kconfig options by default for
Davinci platforms. Davinci remoteproc driver is one of the
modules that depends on these options, and this allows the
driver to be made visible for selection with menuconfig.

Hi Sekhar,

Here's the patch that enables CMA as per your request. Patch based
on your v4.15/defconfig branch.

Applied! I guess you will be sending another patch enabling the
remoteproc driver itself?

Thanks,

Thanks. Well, one always needs a firmware image in their filesystem
without which enabling the driver is meaningless (it would fail). So was
not planning to enable it by default.

But the errors will show up only on DA850 LCDK where we have enabled the
DSP by default in DT because its an important usecase there. I think it
is important for users to see those errors.

(besides the usual benefits of having the module enabled to catch build
and runtime issues easily).

Thanks,
Sekhar

Yeah, DSP node is enabled only for DA850 LCDK among the DT-supported
boards, but I believe there are boards still using legacy boot, and it
shows up on those platforms as well. FYI, we do not have any rpmsg
drivers other than the kernel sample to make real usage of a booted
remoteproc. Anycase, if you still prefer this to be added, I don't mind.

I am interested in using remoteproc on LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 to implement 
I2C and UART in the PRU.

Thats right. Even there, my thinking is if a board is registering a
platform device, its because it wants to use it. And so the driver
should be enabled.

I think its better to enable the driver too. Please submit a patch. Thanks!

Do note that the remoteproc driver being discussed here is the DSP
remoteproc driver. TI releases have a remoteproc driver that talks to
PRUSS[1], but that has not been used to talk to PRUSS on OMAP-L138. And
AFAIK, there is no one working towards that in TI as well.

Thanks,
Sekhar

Darn. I've used pru_rproc on the BeagleBone. One more thing for the EV3 
list ;-).
