Introduces a basic RPMSG Ethernet driver and add it's basic skeleton.
Add support for creating virtual Ethernet devices over RPMSG channels,
allowing user-space programs to send and receive messages using a
standard Ethernet protocol. The driver includes message handling,
probe, and remove functions, along with necessary data structures.
