look to me cleaner to not expose directly the rpmsg_class in rpmsg.h as this
variable is read only for rpmsg services.

I based this dev on hypothesis that the class could be used by some other rpmsg
clients. But it is not mandatory. It can be extended later, on need.

What would you propose as an alternative to this API?

I can see 2 alternatives:
- Define the rpmsg_class in rpmsg_internal.h
In current patchset rpmsg_char.c does not include the rpmsg_internal.h.
I'm not sure if this include makes sense for an rpmsg service driver.

- Use "extern struct class *rpmsg_class; " in rpmsg_char and rpmsg_ctrl modules
