remoteproc: simplify unregister/free interfaces
Simplify the unregister/free interfaces, and make them easier to understand and use, by moving to a symmetric and consistent alloc() -> register() -> unregister() -> free() flow. To create and register an rproc instance, one needed to invoke rproc_alloc() followed by rproc_register(). To unregister and free an rproc instance, one now needs to invoke rproc_unregister() followed by rproc_free(). Cc: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@wizery.com>
