Adds qcom,shared-se flag usage. Use this flag when I2C serial controller
needs to be shared in multiprocessor system(APPS,Modem,ADSP) environment.
SE(Serial Engine HW controller acting as protocol master controller) is an
I2C controller. Basically a programmable SERDES(serializer/deserializer)
coupled with data DMA entity, capable in handling a bus protocol, and data
moves to/from system memory.
Two clients from different processors can share an I2C controller for same
slave device OR their owned slave devices. Assume I2C Slave EEPROM device
connected with I2C controller. Each client from ADSP SS and APPS Linux SS
can perform i2c transactions.
Transfer gets serialized by Lock TRE + DMA xfer + Unlock TRE at HW level.
