We are fine to use variable name as a is_single_port_ram with boolean.
Please find the below updated new patch for your review.

Agree.

Agree.

Hi  Thinh,

Thank you for the suggestions. This method makes more sense to us, and 
we are fine proceeding with it. As we previously discussed, we plan to 
create a separate patch for allocating resources for bulk EP.
However, it may take some time on our end as we need to perform 
additional testing with all possible scenarios. In the meantime, please 
review and help to merge the patch for the single port RAM FIFO resizing 
logic.

Thanks,
Selva
