tidspbridge might be able to use remoteproc, however it can't get rid
of all the infrastructure to support the SN interface, given that the
SN and firmware are distributed as binaries.

OTOH, remoteproc can also implement support for omap3 dsp, but the
major drawback is that we will lose the distributed codecs along with
gst-dsp support.

I'm not aware of anybody working on remoteproc for omap3 (eventually I
could pick it up) but I'm more focused on getting tidspbridge out of
staging right now.

Cheers,

Omar
