When moving from SBL to mission mode execution environment, there
is no remove callback notification to MHI client drivers which
operate on SBL mode only. Client driver devices are being created
in SBL or AMSS(mission mode) and only destroyed after power down
or SYS_ERROR. If there exist any SBL-specific channels, those are
left open and client drivers are thus unaware of the new execution
environment where those channels cannot operate. Close the gap and
issue remove callbacks to SBL-specific client drivers once device
enters mission mode.

I like the idea, but I question where this is limited to the transition to mission mode. Feels like something that should occur on all EE changes. We might not have a current usecase that is outside what you've implemented here, but I don't think there is anything preventing that in future.
