Allow the user space application to create and release an rpmsg device
by adding RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL and RPMSG_RELEASE_DEV_IOCTL ioctrls to
the /dev/rpmsg_ctrl interface

The RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL Ioctl can be used to instantiate a local rpmsg
device.
Depending on the back-end implementation, the associated rpmsg driver is
probed and a NS announcement can be sent to the remote processor.

The RPMSG_RELEASE_DEV_IOCTL allows the user application to release a
rpmsg device created either by the remote processor or with the
RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL call.
Depending on the back-end implementation, the associated rpmsg driver is
removed and a NS destroy rpmsg can be sent to the remote processor.

With
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-remoteproc/CAHk-=wgea9bo-j4+LAvZF7OKPAXKqrGgiBAhXTJ3Jv5JAZgA+A@mail.gmail.com/
and
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/1609958656-15064-1-git-send-email-hemantk@codeaurora.org/
in mind, I would like some concrete examples of when and how this is
going to be used.


Also, as I said previously, this would have been better to put together
with the split out of rpmsg_ctrl, because afaict this is the only reason
for doing that. Or am I simply missing something?

So, does this imply that in order to spawn a new rpmsg_char from the
host side, I would use RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL and to open a channel
announced by the remote I would use RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL?

Is this a side effect, bug or a feature?

This as been done by steps to ease the review. Any way, these controls also
require, to be usable for the rpmsg_char, the implementation of the rpmsg-raw
channel in the rpmsg_char.
Should i squash the 3 patchsets in one and add concrete examples in cover letter?

No, if announced by the remote side the rpmsg_char dev should be automatically
probed by the virtio bus.
The RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL is the legacy control that is used by QCOM drivers to
creates the cdev. It doesn't really make sense for the virtio backend, as virtio
is based on a rpmsg channel that is associated to a rpmsg device.
The only use case I have in mind would be to create endpoint without channel but
using fixed addresses. No concrete use case identified in ST Microelectronics
for hardcoded endpoint addresses.

Both a side effect but also a feature to remove a channel from the initiative of
the user application.
