The "SS" and subsystem should be explained in the binding. Please do not
use some qcom-specific abbreviations here, but explain exactly, e.g.
processors like application processor and DSP.

"se" is also not explained in the binding - please open it and look for
such explanation.

This all should be rephrased to make it clear... We talked about this
and I do not see much of improvements except commit msg, so we are
making circles. I don't know, get someone internally to help you in
upstreaming this.

Is sharing of IP blocks going to be also for other devices? If yes, then
this should be one property for all Qualcomm devices. If not, then be
sure that this is the case because I will bring it up if you come with
one more solution for something else.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
