I didn't aligned previous reply properly. Now i corrected it
and re sending.

In the multipd architecture based Socs, There is one Q6 DSP which
runs the OS/kernel and there are one or more instances of WCSS radios
(It can be either internal or pcie attached).
These WCSS cores are controlled by the Q6 (Q6 DSP brings wcss radios
out of reset/ shuts it down etc).
Q6 forms the 'root Protection domain' and the wcss radios are termed
as the 'user protection domain'. The compatible's that is being
added here are to manage the 'root domain' and 'user domain'.
Not sure if using the words 'pcie'/'ahb' made it confusing.
So, 'qcom,ipq5018-q6-mpd' and 'qcom,ipq5018-wcss-mpd'.

There will be multiple instances of 'qcom,ipq5018-wcss-mpd' in DT
based on number of wcss radios connected on that board and only
one instance of 'qcom,ipq5018-q6-mpd'.

Is this approach ok ?

Thanks & Regards,
Manikanta.
