Ok. I can try that.

We only want kernel clients to be notified when the Remoteproc they are 
interested
in changes state. For e.g. audio kernel driver should be notified when 
audio
processor goes down but it does not care about any other remoteproc.
If you are suggesting that these kernel clients be added as subdevices 
then
we will end up having many subdevices registered to each remoteproc. So 
we
implemented a notifier chain per Remoteproc. This keeps the SSR 
notifications as
the subdevice per remoteproc, and all interested clients can register to 
it.
