Sorry for 0 seconds, i thought of addressing comment and uploading it 
new patch as i wanted to explain SE. whatever i have added for SE 
explanation is in qualcomm hardware programming guide document.

Sure, this is definitely a good way. what did i do for previous comment ?
I have opened SE and expanded, explained.

which statement or explanation should i rephrase ? Is it description 
statement from this yaml file ? Could you please suggested better word 
instead of shared-se if this flag name is not suitable ?

I could not get this ask -
"There are few of such flags already and there are some patches adding 
it in different flavors."
