Fair enough. The way I see this, there is still a need for a struct device*=
 in the zynqmp R5 rproc structure.

If we look at the TI K3 R5 remoteproc patch, https://patchwork.kernel.org/p=
atch/11763795/ ,
there is a call to devm_of_platform_populate in k3_r5_probe similar to your=
 suggestion. I can look to emulate it similarly in the Xilinx remoteproc dr=
iver.

Even still there is a usage of the struct device * in the TI K3 R5 remotepr=
oc structure for the same reason of setting up mailbox for each core as det=
ailed below (can be found in the same link I posted):


** here is where the device* is stored at probe
- k3_r5_probe calls k3_r5_cluster_rproc_init=20

static int k3_r5_cluster_rproc_init(struct platform_device *pdev) {
    struct k3_r5_rproc *kproc;
    struct device *cdev;
    ......<snip>...
	core1 =3D list_last_entry(&cluster->cores, struct k3_r5_core, elem);
	list_for_each_entry(core, &cluster->cores, elem) {
		cdev =3D core->dev;
                           ......<snip>...
                           kproc->dev =3D cdev;
...
}


and then back in the mailbox initialization:
static int k3_r5_rproc_start(struct rproc *rproc) {
    ...
    struct k3_r5_rproc *kproc =3D rproc->priv;
    struct device *dev =3D kproc->dev;
    ...
    client->dev =3D dev; <--- this is needed when requesting the mailbox
This needs to be device with the corresponding of_node that has the mbox-re=
lated properties in it


This is the example I based my usage of the struct device* field in the Soc=
 Specific remoteproc structure off of.
Given that I can still proceed and update with the other suggestions?
