The existing driver and sample:
- drivers/bluetooth/hci/rpmsg
- samples/bluetooth/hci_rpmsg
are no longer correctly named, since they now use the IPC subsystem to
send and receive data. The IPC subsystem can use RPMsg as a transport,
but that is one of several selectable backends.
I initially wanted to deprecated both the BT_RPMSG Kconfig option as
well as the zephyr,bt-hci-rpmsg-ipc chosen node in Devicetree. However,
this proved to be undoable in the case of the Kconfig option. This is
because it's a choice option, and those have special behavior. In
particular, the only practical way to deprecate would've been to keep
the old Kconfig option outside the choice (much like it's done in this
commit) but then also add a 'depends on !BT_RPMSG' on each of the
remaining choice symbols *except* on the new BT_HCI_IPC one. This, however,
only works correctly for .conf files. If a board instead sets the
default BT_HCI_BUS_TYPE in the Kconfig.defconfig file then the Kconfig
tree parsing would fail, because it'd try to set it to a value
(BT_RPMSG) that is no longer part of the choice.
