MU spec use term "a" and "b", user have to map "I" an "II" to
"a" and "b" when read MU spec and code. it is not straightforward.
I quote a part of spec.
" The MU is connected as a peripheral under the Peripheral bus on both sides-on
the Processor A-side, the Processor A Peripheral Bus, and on the Processor B side,
the Processor B Peripheral Bus."
Rob Herring and Marc Zynginer:
I can change to any name, which you agree both.
Some options:
1. "a", "b"
2. "a-side", "b-side"
3. "a-facing", "b-facing"
4. "I", "II"
