Will remove the redundant words, and follow up the guidance
mentioned in the link. Will correct the subject as well.

Sorry, the title above is not describing the device for this dtbindings
correctly.  It should say "Qualcomm Packet Process Engine". The
reference to the schema for PPE is mentioned above.

Got it, will update to add the right constraints for the properties.

Ok, I  will edit the description to make it more clear. This information 
determines the number of hardware buffers configured per port in the 
PPE. This configuration influences flow control behavior of the port.

Ok, will add these constraints.

Ok. will do.

Got it, will remove it everywhere applicable.

will add the constraints.

We are reviewing the current DTS to include only relevant information 
which varies per board, and move rest of the configuration to driver. We 
will update the commit message and the descriptions in dtbindings about 
the details of the hardware information for the updated DTS/dtbindings
when this patch series resumes.

Got it, thanks. Will refer the link and update accordingly.

I will rephrase the descriptions here to clarify. Depending on the SoC 
type (IPQ5332 or IPQ9574) there can be two or three UNIPHY(PCS) in the 
PPE. This property defines the address ranges for the register space of 
these UNIPHY(PCS) of PPE.
