This will not work: the registration of qcom_smd_release_device at 
rpdev->dev.release gets overwritten inside rpmsg_register_device() and 
will then point to the function rpmsg_release_device().

My suggestion would be to additionally change/fix 
rpmsg_register_device() so it will not overwrite the release callback.

This will not work either: same reason as described above because 
rpmsg_chrdev_register_device() will call rpmsg_register_device().

The same issue as described above.
