I believe this is with -M, but as I only extracted part of the file it
did not detect it as a rename. I will see if I can figure something out
for v2.

Perhaps if I split the move in more than one commit it will be easier to
follow; like take the device management in one chunk and the
rpmsg_send() functions in one would reduce the size of the two patches
quite a bit.

You're right, forgot to include that. I still think this should be a
user selectable option, rather than being tied to particular remoteproc
drivers - but let's take that discussion separately.

Thanks,
