I'm not sure what you mean with distinguish the A and B family, they are completely different and there are no overlap in compatibles or implementation. The overlap is in how children are communicating with the rpm, but this is an implementation detail - and noted in that patch as a future improvement. I forgot to add Jeff, but did send him a separate email asking for his input on all this. > > + > > +- qcom,smd-channels: > > + Usage: required > > + Value type: <stringlist> > > + Definition: Shared Memory Channel used for communication with the RPM > > + > > This needs more details. > Not sure what more to add here. It should contain the name of the channel used for communication with the rpm.

If you don't like it then ask Rob to revise his statement. For me it makes sense to consolidate the RPM binding in one document rather than spreading it out in 10 different documents with some implicit dependencies.
