https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

SE = Serial Engine, meant for I2C controller here.
TRE = Transfer Ring Element, refers to Queued Descriptor.
SS = Subsystems (APPS processor, Modem, TZ, ADSP etc).

Expressing yourself in terms of abbreviations just makes the text harder
to read. The dictionary is nice, but I don't see that it adds value to
introduce these abbreviations with the reader.
Sure, thought it will ease the explanations of abbreviations. I learnt that not to use it and directly use complete name in opensource way.


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.


Don't describe your problem using a bullet-point list. You should be
able to express it in a flowing English sentence/paragraph.
Sure Bjorn.

I see no value in establishing the "SS" abbreviation here, what would be
useful is to write this sentence such that it establishes the "SE"
abbreviation (to avoid having to expand the property).

On the other hand, it's a boolean property in a serial-engine node, so
I don't know if it's worth repeating "se" here. "qcom,is-shared" sounds
like a better boolean in a se-node.

Sure, Done. I thought shared-se will make it understand that SE is shared. I will modify to qcom,is-shared as recommended.
Also i am removing SS and make it multiprocessor as asked by Bryan.

Bjorn
