The changelog is specific about crash recovery but to me this code will run
every time an MCU is switched on.  If I understand correctly, in a crash
recovery situation or simply an MCU coming on line, you want to make sure the
subdevices associated to the booting (or recovering) MCU knows about subdevices
that were registered with the sysmon_notifiers before it.

If that is the case, the changelog needs to be modified and a good chunk of
comments need to be added to this patch.

Lastly, shouldn't there be a provision for sysmon->ssctl_version == 2?

Thanks,
Mathieu
