Add the character device interface into remoteproc framework.
This interface can be used in order to boot/shutdown remote
subsystems and provides a basic ioctl based interface to implement
supplementary functionality. An ioctl call is implemented to enable
the shutdown on release feature which will allow remote processors to
be shutdown when the controlling userpsace application crashes or hangs.


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

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.
I have added documentation to Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst
Is there another place where I need to add documentation for this?

Thanks,
