That means that my commit description was not enough explicit...

This patch was part of the IOCTL rpmsg series. I sent it separately at Bjorn's
request [1].

I detect the issue using the RPMSG_ADDR_ANY for the source address when tested
it with the rpmsf_virtio bus. In this case at each sys open of the device, a new
endpoint is created because a new source address is allocated.
