Come with one flag or enum, if needed, covering all your cases like this.
Please review below comment which was about other cores. I think we can go with single flag naming qcom,shared-corename, for similar features for any core.

Let me explain, this feature is one of the additional software case
adding on base protocol support. if we dont have more than one usecase
or repurposing this feature, why do we need to add enums ? I see one
flag gpi_mode but it's internal to driver not exposed to user or expose
any usecase/feature.

Below was our earlier context, just wanted to add for clarity.

You keep repeating the same. You won't receive any other answer.

IP blocks like SE can be shared. Here we are talking about I2C sharing.
In future it can be SPI sharing. But design wise it fits better to add
flag per SE node. Same we shall be adding for SPI too in future.


How flag per SE node is relevant? I did not ask to move the property.


Please let me know your further suggestions.
We do not talk about I2C or SPI here only. We talk about entire SoC.
Since beginning. Find other patch proposals and align with rest of
Qualcomm developers so that you come with only one definition for this
feature/characteristic. Or do you want to say that I am free to NAK all
further properties duplicating this one?

Please confirm that you Qualcomm engineers understand the last statement
and that every block will use se-shared, even if we speak about UFS for
example.


I think I was pretty clear also 2 months ago what do I expect from this:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/52f83419-cc5e-49f3-90a7-26a5b4ddd5a0@xxxxxxxxxx/


I do not see this addressing qcom-wide way at all. Four new versions of
patch and you still did not address first fedback you got.


To answer the comment @ https://lore.kernel.org/all/52f83419-cc5e-49f3-90a7-26a5b4ddd5a0@xxxxxxxxxx/

Sorry for not replying straight to this query. Let me, sort out here being in agreement with you. I queried internally, no USB OR UFS OR PCIe having this case. BAM (sps driver) has such usecase, and if it's comes up in future, we should give similar name like shared-xxx if it's similar in nature.

"qcom,shared-xxx" is what i think a better option. Can it be renamed per core and let individual HW core use it when required ? Just my thought, you may please suggest better and simplified way.

clock controllers, TLMMs, MMUs etc should also should add similar name if it's best suiting to the needs and similar feature.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
