SubjectRe: [PATCH] rpmsg: rpmsg_core: fix null-ptr dereference for devices without ops

The rpmsg devices are registered from the respective backends, which are
supposed to plug in their ops. What is the scenario where you think
these ops might not be populated? We ought to check for NULL ops in
rpmsg_register_device in fact to make sure an ops pointer is supplied.
