Remote processors may announce multiple GPIO controllers over an RPMSG
channel. These GPIO controllers may require corresponding device tree
nodes, especially when acting as providers, to supply phandles for their
consumers.

Define an RPMSG node to work as a container for a group of RPMSG channels
under the imx_rproc node. Each subnode within "rpmsg" represents an
individual RPMSG channel. The name of each subnode corresponds to the
channel name as defined by the remote processor.

All remote devices associated with a given channel are defined as child
nodes under the corresponding channel node.

+description:
+  On an AMP platform, some GPIO controllers are exposed by the remote processor
+  through the RPMSG bus. The RPMSG GPIO transport protocol defines the packet
+  structure and communication flow between Linux and the remote firmware. Those
+  controllers are managed via this transport protocol. For more details of the
+  protocol, check the document below.

My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:


doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):
Warning: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio-rpmsg.yaml references a file that doesn't exist: Documentation/driver-api/gpio/gpio-rpmsg.rst
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio-rpmsg.yaml: Documentation/driver-api/gpio/gpio-rpmsg.rst

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/devicetree/patch/20260210170814.406883-2-shenwei.wang@nxp.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.
