how about a bit field instead (just a proposition)?
Platform driver would set the sync flag and rproc_set_sync_flag could be a 
simple mask instead of a switch case.

Is it possible to split this patch in a different ways because difficult to understand as
rproc_sync_flags seems not used before 
[PATCH v3 09/14] remoteproc: Deal with synchronisation when crashing
