On many platforms, such as Beaglebone-AI64 with many remote
processors, firmware configurations provided by the distributions can
vary substantially depending on the distribution build's functionality
and the specific remote cores enabled in that variant. Ensuring
consistent udev rules mapping remoteproc nodes to constant remote
proc device indices across distributions (yocto, ubuntu, debian and
it's variants, ...) on a board basis can be challenging due to the
various functions of these distributions. Varied device node paths
create challenges for applications that operate on remote processors,
especially in minimal embedded systems(initrd like) that may not
have udev-like capabilities and rely on a more straightforward bare
filesystem. This challenge is similar to that faced by I2C, RTC or the
GPIO subsystems.
Assign remoteproc device IDs based on device tree /aliases entries if
present, falling back to the existing numbering scheme if there is no
/aliases entry (which includes when the system isn't booted using DT)
or a numbering conflict. If the alias node is not present, the driver
behaves as before.

Test log: Beaglebone-AI64
https://gist.github.com/nmenon/365cf80d6c0685dd9be7c2cb18d7c937 (along
with a test change to force the sequence of initialization)
The report occurred on Beagle discord channel - so I am not
sure how to share the logs of the report.
