Could you detail the need/use of signals_pending, in your implementation?
This is not obvious (at least for me)...

I still wonder if it makes sense to implement serial IOCTRL in rpmsg_char.
I think it is quite dangerous to have such kind of mixed interface.
User application would want to use the serial interface should use the tty
interface.

For the rpmsg char, I would be in favor of creating a specific RPMSG IOCTRLs
to avoid confusion.

For instance:

 - RPMSG_GET_SIGN_IOCTRL
 - RPMSG_SET_SIGN_IOCTRL

With associated parameter corresponding to the bitmap proposed in my comment of
your patch 1/4.

Of course, this is only a suggestion, I let Bjorn and Mathieu comment.

Arnaud
