I have taken another look at this and you are correct. The if() condition is
needed because ->table_ptr is set only once when the platform driver is
probed.  See further down...

With the above in mind we can't to that, otherwise trying to re-attach with
rproc_attach() won't work because ->table_ptr will be NULL.

I wasn't able to test that code path because I didn't have the FW that supported
detaching.  Now that the feature is maturing it needs to be done.
