I am a little puzzled here as to why we need different modes... Why can't we
simply call rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_create() and let the endpoint be created on
open() and destroyed on release() as per the current implementation?

I'd rather keep things simple for the refactoring and introduce new features
later if need be.

As I said, it may be that I don't understand the usecase.

Thanks,
Mathieu
