I started by this one and then I got carried away tested the other include...
You are right, I just don't follow her the first rule of the "submit checklist"

"If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares that
facility. Don’t depend on other header files pulling in ones that you use."

That said I just have a doubt for uapi/linux/rpmsg.h that will be include
by rpmsg.h[2], as these includes are part of the rpmsg framework API, should we
keep both, considering the rule as strict?
