Current implementation create/destroy a new endpoint on each rpmsg_eptdev_open/rpmsg_eptdev_release calls. For a rpmsg device created by the NS announcement mechanism we need to use a unique static endpoint that is the default rpmsg device endpoint associated to the channel. This patch prepares the introduction of a rpmsg channel device for the char device. The rpmsg channel device will require a default endpoint to communicate to the remote processor. Add the default_ept field in rpmsg_eptdev structure.This pointer determines the behavior on rpmsg_eptdev_open and rpmsg_eptdev_release call. - If default_ept == NULL: Use the legacy behavior by creating a new endpoint each time rpmsg_eptdev_open is called and release it when rpmsg_eptdev_release is called on /dev/rpmsgX device open/close. - If default_ept is set: use the rpmsg device default endpoint for the communication. Address the update of _rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_create in a separate patch for readability. Add protection in rpmsg_eptdev_ioctl to prevent to destroy a default endpoint.
