Hi Amit
Sorry for the delay. I've had this ready for a while waiting for
go-ahead from our legal dept, and then it got stuck in my backlog.

Anyway, here is a stab at describing the rproc serial device.
Feedback is welcomed.

Thanks,
Sjur

+\begin_layout Standard
+The Remoteproc Serial Device device is used when communicating with a remote
+ processor.
+ The remote processor may be a modem communicating over a shared memory
+ interface, or a CPU in an asymmetric multi-processing (AMP) configuration.
+ The Remoteproc Serial Device provides a simple device for data IO.
+ A device has one port and a single pair of virtqueues for input and output.
+ Empty buffers are placed in one virtqueue for receiving packets, and outgoing
+ packets are enqueued into another for transmission.
