I believe you should copy "len" bytes here, instead of 10.

rproc_boot() of a child thereof has already told us why the boot failed,
so please omit this print.

Please skip the error message and just return EFAULT.

I don't see the reason for protecting this assignment. It can only race
with other assignments and given that it's a native type it will have
the last value written regardless.

> +		rproc->cdev_put_on_release = param ? true : false;

The idiomatic way to "normalize" a bool is foo = !!param;

As above, I don't see that cdev_put_on_release will have an half-baked
value, so should be fine to omit the locking here.

> +		ret = copy_to_user(argp, &rproc->cdev_put_on_release, sizeof(bool));

The documentation says that this is a signed 32-bit thing. So please do
sizeof(something-obviously-32-bits), e.g. sizeof(int32_t) as above.

As above, please don't print an error here, just return -EFAULT.

It's not possible to race with the ioctl, as this function is called as
the last open file descriptor is closed. So you can omit the lock here
as well and just check cdev_put_on_release in the conditional, without a
local variable.
