So far i was in context to SEs. I am not sure in qualcomm SOC all cores 
supporting this feature and if it at all it supports, it may have it's 
own mechanism then what is followed in SE IP. I was probably thinking on 
my owned IP core hence i was revolving around.

Hope this dt-binding i can conclude somewhere by seeking answer from 
other IP core owners within qualcomm.

This UFS word atleast makes me understand and gave me clarity that i 
need to talk to different IP owners within qualcomm and get an agreement 
for my i2c feature. I am not sure if there exist an usecase the way we 
are sharing for i2c. Also i don't know how we can make similar 
description if different cores and functionality are different.  If you 
have heard from any other IP core, please keep some usecases/IP names.

Since This demands internal discussion, so give me time to conclude how 
the IPs are shared and is it the similar to what i have developed here 
for I2C. (sorry that so far i was in context to my SE protocols/ IPs only).
