permission to move definition of struct rpmsg_channel_info

[Arjun Gopalan <agopalan-DDmLM1+adcrQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Ohad/Brian,

I have been working on rpmsg and I need to be able to create static rpmsg channels. Channel information needs to be specified by other drivers and for this, the drivers need access to struct rpmsg_channel_info.

So, can I move the definition of struct rpmsg_channel_info from drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c to include/linux/rpmsg.h ?

I have a patch (enclosed inline) for the same. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this.
Thanks.

    rpmsg: Create static rpmsg channels
   
    Adds support for creating static channels when rpmsg_probe()
    is called.
   
    NOTE:
    -----
    This patch also moves the definition of struct rpmsg_channel_info
    from virtio_rpmsg_bus.c to linux/rpmsg.h because hardcoded static
    channels need to be used by other drivers.
