Could you give some concrete use cases associated with your need?.
I'm not sure I'm interpreting it correctly...

Your patch seems to me a way to create a kind of sub-service. Why not 
simply concatenate this in the name services, i.e creating several name 
services ("service-0", "service-1"...)?

Regarding your implementation, the descriptor field seems used to:
- instantiate a rpmsg service
- retrieve the instance from the userland based on the descriptor.

What not just use this descriptor to provide information to userland via 
sysfs, but not use it as a criteria to find the rpmsg device?

In this case you can use the remote endpoint address(dst addr) to 
instantiate the service. The descriptor field could just be an 
information to help application to retrieve the good instance of the 
service.

There is another way to create a service, by registering an RPMsg 
drivers (e.g. 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc6/source/samples/rpmsg/rpmsg_client_sample.c)

In this case the descriptor can not be used, right?
To be compliant probably need to extend the rpmsg_device_id struct...
