Thanks for the patch Srinivas! I looked at it in your tree as I was
coming up with the fixes for the problems I hit in my testing the other
day.

But, there is a window between qcom_glink_rx_open() assigning
channel->rcid and where rpmsg_dev_probe() will invoke
qcom_glink_create_remote(), which adds the channel to lcids, i.e. where
we would leak the channel. So I instead picked Chris' patch (3/6 in my
series), which will clean up the channel in this case as well.

Bjorn
