This is already checked just above.

This is checked in rproc_stop() where -EINVAL is returned if ops::stop has not
been provided.

The standard error message from the shell should be enough here, the same way it
is enough when the "start" and "stop" scenarios fail.

As I indicated in my last review I think rproc_shutdown() and rproc_del() should
be decoupled and the right call made in the platform drivers based on the state
of the remote processor.  Conditions such as the above make the core code
brittle, difficult to understand and tedious to maintain.

Thanks,
