Add a new rproc_ops sync_ops to support use cases where the remoteproc
core is synchronisting with the MCU.  When exactly to use the sync_ops is
directed by the states in struct rproc_sync_states.

Since you are using this mostly for checking and as a boolean, I suggest
you rename this appropriately, something like rproc_needs_sync,
rproc_has_sync or rproc_uses_sync().

And I am wondering if it is actually better to introduce the sync state
to check against here, rather than using the stored sync state and
return. The current way makes it confusing to read the state machine.

Overall, this patch can move down the order, and better to add it in
the patches where you actually introduce these code. And the debugfs
pieces can be added as a separate patch by itself.

Nothing wrong with this, but prefer to have the new variable in a new
line for better readability.

Also, actually sounds more like flags than states..

I will rename to rproc_syncing_with_rproc()

I decided to proceed this way because there may not be a direct correlation
between the current synchronisation state and the location of the check itself.
for instance, in firmware_show(), what sync state should be key on?

I thought about this in terms of "states" in which a decision should be made.
I'm not sure those are flags...

No matter how many times you read your own code, there's always something like
this that escapes...

Hmm, I want this to reflect a boolean answer for better code
flow/readability.

Yeah OK. Its the combinations of ops (11 callbacks) plus sync states (3)
that kinda makes it hard to read the state-machine.

I see them as just decision flags for sync, it is not reflecting a state
like rproc->state. The rproc structure variable holds the current sync
flag state though.
