rpmsg: char: Fix race between the release of rpmsg_eptdev and cdev
struct rpmsg_eptdev contains a struct cdev. The current code frees the rpmsg_eptdev struct in rpmsg_eptdev_destroy(), but the cdev is a managed object, therefore its release is not predictable and the rpmsg_eptdev could be freed before the cdev is entirely released. The cdev_device_add/del() API was created to address this issue (see commit '233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to register char devs with a struct device")'), use it instead of cdev add/del().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
