Indeed and these are the default. But not all SoC are born equal and
we got a request to allow setting these.

Maybe instead of numerical values have three possible verbal setting
would be better?

I agree. Maybe

sharability_domain: either "IS" or "OS"?

hm... we could do it but this will require us to know (and publicly
acknowledge) of every SoC making use of this piece of hardware design.
There is currently no other part of the driver that needs this.
