Ok

You are on the right track but perhaps not fully aware of what is already done
for multi core remote processors.  I suggest you have a thorough look at TI's
K3R5 driver[1] and one of it's DTB[2].  In the DTB each remote processor loads a
different firmware file, which seems to be what you are looking for.

Thanks,
Mathieu
