On my side checkpatch is complaining loudly that Change-Id tags should be
removed... I wonder how you didn't get it on your side.

This function declaration conflicts with the one already defined in
remoteproc_internal.h. Again, I wonder how you didn't hit that problem when you
compiled this patch.

The scenario I see here is that a userspace program will call
open(/dev/rproc_xyz, SOME_OPTION) when it is launched. The file stays open
until either the application shuts down, in which case it calls close() or it
crashes. In that case the system will automatically close all file descriptors
that were open by the application, which will also call rproc_shutdown().
To me the same functionality can be achieved with the current functionality
provided by sysfs.
When the application starts it needs to read
"/sys/class/remoteproc/remoteprocX/state". If the state is "offline" then
"start" should be written to "/sys/.../state". If the state is "running" the
application just crashed and got restarted. In which case it needs to stop the
remote processor and start it again.

Indentation issue.

If the module is removed unregister_chrdev_region() is called but I don't see
anywhere in there that cdev_del() is called.

Indentation problem.

The next time you send a patchset, please compile it and run checkpatch on it.
