+Description: Remote processor firmware

+Description: Remote processor state
+
+ Reports the state of the remote processor, which will be one of:
+
+ "offline"
+ "suspended"
+ "running"
+ "crashed"
+ "invalid"
+
+ "offline" means the remote processor is powered off.
+
+ "suspended" means that the remote processor is suspended and
+ must be woken to receive messages.
+
+ "running" is the normal state of an available remote processor
+
+ "crashed" indicates that a problem/crash has been detected on
+ the remote processor.
+
+ "invalid" is returned if the remote processor is in an
+ unknown state.
+
+ Writing this file controls the state of the remote processor.
+ The following states can be written:
+
+ "start"
+ "stop"
+
+ Writing "start" will attempt to start the processor running the
+ firmware indicated by, or written to,
+ /sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware. The remote processor should
+ transition to "running" state.
+
+ Writing "stop" will attempt to halt the remote processor and
+ return it to the "offline" state.
