+ *
+ * This function should be called when the platform specific rproc
+ * implementation decides to remove the rproc device. it should
+ * _only_ be called if a previous invocation of rproc_register()
+ * has completed successfully.
+ *
+ * After rproc_unregister() returns, @rproc is _not_ valid anymore and

+ * or try to directly free @rproc after rproc_unregister() returns;
+ * none of these are needed, and calling them is a bug.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 on success and -EINVAL if @rproc isn't valid.
