update from V1 [1]
 - fix issues reported by Mathieu Poirier

This series is the second step in the division of the series [2]: 
"Introducing a Generic IOCTL Interface for RPMsg Channel Management".

The purpose of this patchset is to:
- split the control code related to the control
  and the endpoint. 
- define the rpmsg-raw channel, associated with the rpmsg char device to
  allow it to be instantiated using a name service announcement.
    
An important point to keep in mind for this patchset is that the concept of
channel is associated with a default endpoint. To facilitate communication
with the remote side, this default endpoint must have a fixed address.

Consequently, for this series, I made a design choice to fix the endpoint
on the "rpmsg-raw" channel probe, and not allow to create/destroy an endpoint
on FS open/close.

This is only applicable for channels probed by the rpmsg bus. The behavior,
using the RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL and RPMSG_DESTROY_EPT_IOCTL controls, is
preserved.
  
The next steps should be to correct this:
Introduce the IOCTLs RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL and RPMSG_DESTROY_DEV_IOCTL
to instantiate the rpmsg devices
