Indeed. I was referring to the stop member in the ops struct, which is
a so-far unused function pointer.

Naming it .stop emphasizes the fact that it's only meant to stop execution,
not start it. See below.

Which firmware would the processor execute when started via parameter?
I see no benefit in powering up the co-processor without specifying a
firmware image.
