Yes it was one of my interrogation correcting it like that. But as virtio link has been put in reset state just before, no message could be sent to coprocessor...
Other possible correction (maybe less elegant), keeping current order, is to introduce a rpmsg bus "status" that will be checked before registering new device.
Anyway, we need to prevent new rpmsg device register after children removal to avoid orphan device.
