Hi Rishabh,
While being interesting to have a such a userspace interface, I have
some remarks.

Add the driver for creating the character device interface for
userspace applications. The character device interface can be used
in order to boot up and shutdown the remote processor.
This might be helpful for remote processors that are booted by
userspace applications and need to shutdown when the application
crahes/shutsdown.

What happens if multiple user open this chardev ? Apparently,
rproc_boot returns 0 if already powered_up, so the next user won't know
what is the state of the rproc.
Exclusive access could probably be a good idea.
Since it is synchronized inside rproc_boot multiple users simultaneously
calling open shouldn't be a problem. If it is one after the other then
second caller will get result as 0 and assume that rproc booted
successfully.
That is the expected flow right?

How can you make the link between the chardev and the device instance ?
I do this rproc->dev.devt = cdevt. Let me know of there is a better way
to do this?
In our case, we have several remoteproc instances and thus we will end
up having multiple chardev.
Regards,
Clément
rproc_char_device_add will be called for each remoteproc that is
added. So we will have one char dev per remoteproc.
