From 489d129a2f7abd04054fad44e589989f3fa7fd7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ohad Ben-Cohen Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:25:43 +0200 Subject: remoteproc: depend on EXPERIMENTAL Remoteproc is still under development and as it gets traction we definitely expect to do some changes in the binary format (most probably only in the resource table, e.g. the upcoming move to TLV-based entries). Active testing and use of remoteproc is most welcome, but we don't want users to expect backward binary compatibility with the preliminary images we have today. Therefore mark remoteproc as EXPERIMENTAL, and explicitly inform the user about this when a new remote processor is registered.
