This prints uninitialized kernel stack contents instead of what was
copied from user space.

Is the dev_err statement really necessary anyway?

If rproc_boot fails, that should be reflected in the syscall result.

This interface is essentially exposing the remoteproc->power refcount to
user space; is that okay?  Seems like it makes it easy to underflow
remoteproc->power through successive shutdown calls.

The other debugfs interface in remoteproc that has a write method
(recovery) accepts more expressive string commands as opposed to 0/1.
It would be more consistent for this interface to take commands such as
"boot" and "shutdown" IMO.
