Merge tag 'rpmsg' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

Pull "remoteproc/rpmsg: new subsystem" from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This new subsystem provides a common way to talk to secondary
  processors on an SoC, e.g.  a DSP, GPU or service processor, using
  virtio as the transport.  In the long run, it should replace a few
  dozen vendor specific ways to do the same thing, which all never made
  it into the upstream kernel.  There is a broad agreement that rpmsg is
  the way to go here and several vendors have started working on
  replacing their own subsystems.

  Two branches each add one virtio protocol number.  Fortunately the
  numbers were agreed upon in advance, so there are only context
  changes.

  Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>"

Fixed up trivial protocol number conflict due to the mentioned additions
next to each other.

+ *
+ * Simple rpmsg drivers shouldn't use this struct directly, because
+ * things just work: every rpmsg driver provides an rx callback upon
+ * registering to the bus, and that callback is then bound to its rpmsg
+ * address when the driver is probed. When relevant inbound messages arrive
+ * (i.e. messages which their dst address equals to the src address of
+ * the rpmsg channel), the driver's handler is invoked to process it.
+ *
+ * More complicated drivers though, that do need to allocate additional rpmsg
+ * addresses, and bind them to different rx callbacks, must explicitly
+ * create additional endpoints by themselves (see rpmsg_create_ept()).
