Ok. I can try that.

We only want kernel clients to be notified when the Remoteproc they are
interested
in changes state. For e.g. audio kernel driver should be notified when
audio
processor goes down but it does not care about any other remoteproc.
If you are suggesting that these kernel clients be added as subdevices
then
we will end up having many subdevices registered to each remoteproc. So
we
implemented a notifier chain per Remoteproc. This keeps the SSR
notifications as
the subdevice per remoteproc, and all interested clients can register to
it.
