Now that I have a better understanding of what this patchset is doing, I realise
my comments in patch 04 won't work.  To differentiate the subdevs of an rproc I
suggest to wrap them in a generic structure with a type and an enum.  That way
you can differenciate between subdevices without having to add to the core.

That being said, I don't understand what patches 5 and 6 are doing...
Registering with the global ssr_notifiers allowed to gracefully shutdown all the
MCUs in the system when one of them would go down.  But now that we are using
the notifier on a per MCU, I really don't see why each subdev couldn't implement
the right prepare/start/stop functions.

Am I missing something here?
