remoteproc: imx_rproc: skip clock enable when M-core is managed by the SCU
[ Upstream commit 496deecb ] For the i.MX8X and i.MX8 family SoCs, when the Cortex-M core is powered up and started by the Cortex-A core using the bootloader (e.g., via the U-Boot bootaux command), both M-core and Linux run within the same SCFW (System Controller Firmware) partition. With that, Linux has permission to control the M-core. But once the M-core is started by the bootloader, the SCFW automatically enables its clock and sets the clock rate. If Linux later attempts to enable the same clock via clk_prepare_enable(), the SCFW returns a 'LOCKED' error, as the clock is already configured by the SCFW. This causes the probe function in imx_rproc.c to fail, leading to the M-core power domain being shut down while the core is still running. This results in a fault from the SCU (System Controller Unit) and triggers a system reset. To address this issue, ignore handling the clk for i.MX8X and i.MX8 M-core, as SCFW already takes care of enabling and configuring the clock. Suggested-by:Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com> Reviewed-by:
