Add a feature flag to expose some of the remoteproc configuration
through sysfs. This feature is helpful in systems where debugfs is
not available/mounted. Currently the recovery and coredump
configuration is exposed through sysfs rather than debugfs when
this feature is selected.

This commit message gives me the feeling that it's about making a
selection between debugfs vs sysfs. But the patches moves the code from
debugfs to sysfs and then hide it behind this config option.

That said, I just commented on v2 questioning that this should be a
compile time option at all - might be useful for some drivers to
dynamically "hide" these sysfs attributes though.

Regards,
Bjorn

Yeah, that description is broken.  Probably a copy/paste from V2.

Dynamically hinding those would require intelligence from platform drivers, the
same kind that could have use the API to manipulate the coredump mode.  That
would have been very easy without the need to move anything from debufs.  But
from what Rishab said his problem is at compile time.

Thanks,
Mathieu
