Hi Bjorn,

This patch is modifying rpmsg API by using rpmsg_endpoint as argument
instead of rpmsg_device.
But associated port of rpmsg_client_sample driver is missing in your patch series.

Please find inline few comments.

Since endpoint is now used to indicate source, I'm wondering if it is possible
to suppress src field from struct rpmsg_channel and rely only on endpoint addr?
Else maybe confusing (which src addr used at the end: rpdev or ept?)

As this function is part of rpmsg API, it will be good to verify pointers before use.

Function name and description not aligned with code.
Should be rpmsg_trysend
May be in another patch...
