No, this is an unrelated change to this patch.

Dito.


As you now make changes to the entire remoteproc Kconfig file, rather
than simply add a Kconfig symbol we can't bring this in via Vinod's tree
without providing Linus with a messy merge conflict.

So the remoteproc parts now has to go through my tree.

As of v4.9 you need to rproc_free() rather than rproc_put() to undo
rproc_alloc().
