Thanks for intruducing Ioctl, this will help for future evolutions.

returning ENXIO in this case seems to me no appropriate , what about EPERM or
EINVAL (rproc_sysfs) ?

argp is an void value, where cdev_put_on_release is a bool a check or a conversion  seems
missing

"remoteproc"instead of "rproc" (in line with sysfs and debugfs naming) .

These parameters are local variables of rproc_cdev. Could be defined in a separate structure.
with a pointer in rproc to this structure.

IOCTLs should probaly be documented.
