It's actually changed to is-shared flag and again renamed to shared-se 
based on the review comments. This went for correction for flag naming. 
Sorry for missing SE description into dt-bindings in the latest patch.
I am adding it with more description.

we do have SE (serial engine) which works for i2c, spi, uart, i3c. And 
SE is single HW entity as you are aware of. But I feel it makes sense to 
keep this flag name per SE and even for SPI OR I3C we should be using 
same flag name in DTSI.

Hope i meet expectations considering all your suggestions and past 
learning and not missing anything out of my mind.
