Yes I am, don't be misguided by the name of the local variable.
The rpcif structure is allocated by the HF or SPI child driver,
and thus not available in the RPC core driver's .probe() function.
The rpc_priv structure (as of patch 4) is allocated by the RPC core driver.

I can make it second? ;-)
Note that that still precludes (easily) backporting s2ram support.
