Correct

That is a valid observation - rproc_set_sync_state_machine() sounds descriptive
enough for me.

I haven't seen one yet, which doesn't mean it doesn't exist or won't in the
future. I wanted to make this as flexible as possible. I started with the idea
of making synchronisation at initialisation time implicit if
rproc_set_state_machine() is called but I know it is only a matter of time
before people come up with some exotic use case where .on_init is false.

Comments added in remoteproc_internal.h and the new section in
Documentation/remoteproc.txt aren't sufficient? Can you give me a hint as to
what you think is missing?
