Oh! Looking at that branch, and the new branch from you, I don't actually see
a dependency between them. Sure, the Davinci mach-side code registers a new
device, but until the driver has the corresponding changes, there's no breakage
caused by the new registration. There are no new data structures introduced
either, so there's no build-time dependency added.

So it would be just as easy to just merge this as a nondependent branch. When
both sides of the change land, remoteproc will work. But until then, nothing
existing will be broken.

Sound ok? If so, please just rebase your 4 patches on top of the old SoC branch
without the dependency and send a fresh pull request, please. :)
