It might be more appropriate to provide the binary format handlers as
a separate argument to rproc_alloc, instead of adding it to the
rproc_ops struct (rproc_ops is dedicated to platform-specific handlers
that are implemented by the low-level driver).

Do we want to keep the "rproc" prefix for the function names (e.g.
rproc_elf_sanity_check) ? we'll be better namespace citizens that way.

Oh, great, you removed those. In that case we don't really care they'd
stay in remoteproc.h for the transition.. (but that probably doesn't
apply to rproc_da_to_va).

I'd keep those too in remoteproc_internal.h, so they won't be
accessible to code outside of drivers/remoteproc.

Thanks!
