I have reflected long and hard on this.  The problem with the above approach is
that we do almost the same thing in imx_rproc_prepare() and
rproc_resource_cleanup().  Function rproc_resource_cleanup() is able to deal
with empty lists so I think it is better to fix the "goto" statements in
rproc_attach().  More specifically, replace the "unprepare_device" goto
statement with "clean_up_resources" and get rid of the "unprepare_device" label.  

Please see if that works on your side.  I am good with 2/2 of this series.

Thanks,
Mathieu
