You already got this comment:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240927063108.2773304-4-quic_msavaliy@quicinc.com/T/#m79efdd1172631aca99a838b4bfe57943755701e3

""se" is also not explained in the binding - please open it and look for
such explanation."

Further comments asked you to rephrase it. Did anything improve? No,
nothing.

You got comments, you ignore them and send the same.

But most important: I keep repeating this over and over - NAK for some
specific "shared-se" flag, different for each of your IP blocks. Come
with something generic for entire qualcomm. There are few of such flags
already and there are some patches adding it in different flavors.

Get this consistent.

NAK for this and v5 doing exactly theh same.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
