Main update from V2 [1]
- Management of the endpoint creation/release to handle it for all the use cases
in the rpmsg_eptdev_open and rpmsg_eptdev_release function
Other patch updates are described at the end of their commit message.
This series can be applied on git/andersson/remoteproc.git
for-next branch (dc0e14fa833b) + "rpmsg: char: Remove useless includes" patch[3].
Series description:
This series is the second step in the division of the series [2]:
"Introducing a Generic IOCTL Interface for RPMsg Channel Management".
The purpose of this patchset is to:
- split the control code related to the control
and the endpoint.
- define the rpmsg-raw channel, associated with the rpmsg char device to
allow it to be instantiated using a name service announcement.
An important point to keep in mind for this patchset is that the concept of
channel is associated with a default endpoint. To facilitate communication
with the remote side, this default endpoint must have a fixed address.
Therefore, for /dev/rpmsgX device created during the instantiation of he "rpmsg-raw"
device, the endpoint creation/release is not dynamically managed on each FS open/close.
This is only applicable for channels probed by the rpmsg bus. The behavior,
using the RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL and RPMSG_DESTROY_EPT_IOCTL controls, is preserved.
The next step should be:
Introduce the IOCTLs RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL and RPMSG_DESTROY_DEV_IOCTL
to instantiate the rpmsg devices
