This means that local endpoint is ready to receive data.

Endpoint will remain bind, only data on that endpoint is not expected if 
flow control is disabled.

If flow control is enabled remote client can send data.

Some rpmsg cleints may not want to deal with flow control and not 
provide signal callback.

In such case this check is needed.

Remote is signalling for transmission.
