Hi Arun, Bjorn,

Please correct me if i'm wrong...My concern here is that this patchset
implements a rpmsg service in the rpmsg core. I would separate this from
the rpmsg core, as this is not part of the rpmsg protocol but seems
linked to the serial protocol itself.
Could it be implemented in rpmsg_char, using a dedicated channel...?

Arnaud
