I was going to complain that this will silently succeed to detach a
remoteproc when the driver doesn't implement detach, but then I realized
that in the current code path we just failed if it wasn't set.

So this only becomes a problem if we're out of sync between the wish to
detach and the implementation of detach, in the later patch.


But based on this, why do we allow rproc_attach_device() to succeed even
though a driver doesn't implement attach? Could we achieve the symmetry
by going the other way?
