You keep repeating the same. You won't receive any other answer.

How flag per SE node is relevant? I did not ask to move the property.

We do not talk about I2C or SPI here only. We talk about entire SoC.
Since beginning. Find other patch proposals and align with rest of
Qualcomm developers so that you come with only one definition for this
feature/characteristic. Or do you want to say that I am free to NAK all
further properties duplicating this one?

Please confirm that you Qualcomm engineers understand the last statement
and that every block will use se-shared, even if we speak about UFS for
example.
