The remoteproc_cdev had been created to respond to some sysfs limitations.
I wonder if this evolution should not also be implemented in the cdev.
In this case an additional event could be addedd to inform the application
that a crash occurred and that a core dump is available.

Of course it's only a suggestion... As it would be a redesign.
I let Björn and Mathieu comment.
