This patch adds a binding to guide the remoteproc core on how to deal with
remote processors in two cases:

1) When an application holding a reference to a remote processor character
   device interface crashes.

2) when the platform driver for a remote processor is removed.

In both cases if "autonomous-on-core-reboot" is specified in the remote
processor DT node, the remoteproc core will detach the remote processor
rather than switching it off.

+description:
+  This document defines the bindings used by a primary processor to determine
+  the state it should leave an ancillary processor when the former is no longer
+  functioning.

+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
+    description:
+      When specified the ancillary processor should be left operational when
+      the primary processor is no longer available.  Otherwise the ancillary
+      processor should be made inoperative.
