Adds qcom,shared-se flag usage. Use this when particular I2C serial
controller needs to be shared between two subsystems.
SE = Serial Engine, meant for I2C controller here.
TRE = Transfer Ring Element, refers to Queued Descriptor.
SS = Subsystems (APPS processor, Modem, TZ, ADSP etc).
Example :
Two clients from different SS can share an I2C SE 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.
This gets serialized by lock TRE + DMA Transfers + Unlock TRE at HW level.
