Since it is synchronized inside rproc_boot multiple users simultaneously
calling open shouldn't be a problem. If it is one after the other then
second caller will get result as 0 and assume that rproc booted
successfully.
That is the expected flow right?

I do this rproc->dev.devt = cdevt. Let me know of there is a better way
to do this?

rproc_char_device_add will be called for each remoteproc that is
added. So we will have one char dev per remoteproc.
