It seems like I am missing information... Your are referring to "kernel
clients" and as such I must assume some drivers that are not part of the
remoteproc/rpmsg subsystems are calling qcom_register_ssr_notifier(). I must
also assume these drivers (or that functionality) are not yet upsream because
all I can see calling qcom_register_ssr_notifier() is qcom_glink_ssr_probe().

Speaking of which, what is the role of the qcom_glink_ssr_driver? Is the glink
device that driver is handling the same as the glink device registed in
adsp_probe() and q6v5_probe()?
