I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible, so my idea was to create a driver that just has a few attributes which can be set in /sys which would trigger commands to be sent to the M4 CPU. I have the communication between the CPU:s up and running, but where I'm having trouble moving forward is how to access the "struct rpmsg_device *" that I need in order to communicate with the endpoint for the M4 CPU from the store/show function of the sysfs attributes. What my driver does is to register a rpmsg_driver in the init function:

That is because you have created a driver attribute, not a device
attribute. Create device attributes and you should be fine, they bind
to the device your driver is passed.
good luck!
