I did the same here [1] but after discussion with Bjorn, realized that
remoteproc might not even recover and may fail in the second attempt as
well and only way is reboot of the machine.

I missed one more point to add here which i tried to highlight in second
version[2] that setting of RPROC_DEFUNCT should happen for this case
from vendor remoteproc driver and not at the core and that should take
care of the backward compatibility.
