Hi Ping,

Thank you for the feedback — it is great to hear that the memory
controller MSC support has a concrete user and has been verified on
hardware.

Could you share your DT description? That would help us understand
your use case and ensure the binding covers it correctly before we
decide on the next steps.

Thanks,
Yin
