2 references:

1)Previous discussion thread on the topic:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-remoteproc/patch/AOKowLclCbOCKxyiJ71WeNyuAAj2q8EUtxrXbyky5E@cp7-web-042.plabs.ch/

2) My patchset related to the refactoring of remoteproc virtio which tries to
address the point by creating a remoteproc platform driver and declaring a
virtio subnode in the device tree remoteproc node.

No time yet on my side to come back on the patchset :(

Regards,
Arnaud
