So far as I can see from reviewing the code there is no user visible
effect.

rproc_shutdown() calls rproc_stop() which sets "rproc->state = RPROC_OFFLINE;"
so the second call will return be a no-op and return -EINVAL.  But the
return value is not checked so no problem.

prueth_cleanup_tx_chns() uses memset to zero out the emac->tx_chns[] so
the second call will be a no-op.
