> I check the our document again, it does not give a standard definition too. I'll explain it as I understand it. This IP includes a jpeg wrapper, the wrapper is working on descriptor based manner. It support up to 4 slots, each slots can have its own chained descriptors. The purpose is to share the jpeg engine across multiple VMS and os, It's a bit like vm partitioning. We just want to assign 1 slot to linux, Then, theoretically, it can support up to 3 VMS.
> The slot index indicates which slot we choose, driver will use the slot index to configure. If not specified, 0 is used by default.
> Currently driver only use the slot 0 by default, but it enable the power-domain and request irq to all the 4 slots.  there has been no real negative impact, as we have no practical application to use other slots yet. But it does cause trouble when we want to use another slot in a vm.

Which parts of hardware are common and which are shared?
