I agree.

It's very clear that SMD and rpmsg are different. But fundamentally,
they do exactly the same: new messages are placed in a ring buffer and
then an interrupt is triggered.

If Qualcomm wanted to adopt rpmsg I'm confident there would have been
no technical barriers to do so.

But given that SMD is not going anywhere, I personally hope that you
could at least avoid having two different implementations of it merged
upstream.

Good luck,
Ohad.
