The detection requires parsing the various ti,sci properties, and all the R5F OF
properties are parsed and directly stored in the driver-specific remoteproc
private structure that is allocated as part of rproc_alloc(). Moving the
rproc_alloc() for later just for the sake of supplying different ops just makes
the whole probe function cumbersome. We already do dynamic plugging of ops
between C66x and C71x DSPs in the ti_k3_dsp_remoteproc driver, so simplest would
be to follow the same approach here.

See my response to Bjorn's comments on Patch 1. I am merely adding the wrapper
similar to rproc_attach_device(). If the point is that we are using the wrong
default return value, then I can fix that up and we ought to fix the same in
rproc_attach_device() as well.
