Singh> Please don't use TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) like TDM without explaining the clearly and up front.  It makes it hard for anyone else who doens't know your code to look it over without having to spend lots of time poking around to figure it out from either context or somewhere else.

You should put the expansion of TDM into the initial commit message,
and also into the Kconfig text, so that someone configuring the kernel
has a clue what you're talking about.  

Try to approach this as a brandnew user who doesn't have your
knowledge of the software.  Write for the un-initiated if at all
possible.
