The remoteproc core must not allow function rproc_shutdown() to
proceed if currently synchronising with a remote processor and
the synchronisation operations of that remote processor does not
support it.  Also part of the process is to set the synchronisation
flag so that the remoteproc core can make the right decisions when
restarting the system.

This means that if rproc->sync_ops->stop is null rproc_stop_subdevices will not
be called? seems not symmetric with the start sequence.
If rproc->sync_ops->stop is not provided then the remoteproc core can't stop the
remote processor at all after it has synchronised with it.  If a usecase
requires some kind of soft reset then a stop() function that uses a mailbox
notification or some other mechanism can be provided to tell the remote
processor to put itself back in startup mode again.

Is this fine with you or there is still something I don't get?
My point here is more around the subdevices. But perhaps i missed something...

In rproc_start rproc_start_subdevices is called, even if sync_start is null.
But in rproc_shutdown rproc_stop is not called, if sync_ops->stop is null.
So rproc_stop_subdevices is not called in this case.
Then if sync_flags.after_stop is false, it looks like that something will go wrong
at next start.

Probably not useful to test it here as condition is already handled in rproc_stop_device...
