This patch doesn't "clean up" the class, as described in $subject. It

Afaict it doesn't relate to /sys/bus/rpmsg, but rather what attributes
should be associated with the rpmsg_device (and thereby present in its
sysfs directory). But if these attributes are also added by the bus,
then why do we have this code? If that's the case this seems like a nice
cleanup that we should do outside/before merging the other patches.

It would be useful if the commit message described how it prepares for
the migration and why.
