Thank you for your review, Krzysztof. I apologize for the delay in
my response.
>> What is a connection ID and why it cannot be inferred from existing

The connection-id determines which hypervisor communication channel the
guest should use to talk to the VMBus host. Reading from DeviceTree allows
platforms to specify their preferred communication channel, making it more
flexible (I will add this detail in the commit message). Presently, this
value is hardcoded and there is no existing API to read it.

Presently the value is hardcoded and we want to provide a functionality to
the user to specify their prefered communication channel. This is a
virtualized hardware property for us.

I will add constraints, and defaults.
Please let me know if there are any other issues that I should fix with
the next version of the patch and thank you again for the review.
Regards,
Hardik
