remoteproc: depend on EXPERIMENTAL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
