I'm looking at this patchset as the introduction of an out-of-bound control interface. But looking at the implementation of the GLINK's set_flow_control() the data is sent in-band, making me perplexed about introducing a new rpmsg_endpoint_ops for something that could be done from user space. Especially when user space is triggering the message with an ioctl in patch 3.
Moreover this interface is case specific and doesn't reflect the generic nature
found in ept->sig_cb.
