Afaict we don't allow the registration of a remoteproc in DETACHED state
without an "attach" function specified and as such we shouldn't be able
to end up here.

On the other hand I think it would make sense to have a system where
"attach" simply just means bring up the communication with the remote
processor, so let's keep it as is and we can adjust it as necessary
later.
