Please use linux-remoteproc@ instead of linux-remoteproc-owner@, to
ensure you're reaching the whole community.

Please omit "external" from this.

Per below suggestions you don't need this struct (or list).

rproc can be found with:
container_of(inode->i_cdev, struct rproc, char_dev);

so you don't need rproc_get_by_dev_no() and hence not rproc_chrdev_list.

return rproc_boot(); and drop "retval".

No need to initialize ret, its first use is an assignment.

Move these to the top of the file, and use an ida for allocating the
minor.

Please do this during remoteproc_init()
