Sure, i will change my reply style and don't use any indentation.

Sure, i remove user pd compatibles. In root pd probe itself, user pd
remoteproc's are taken care. Also I updated diagram in cover page, it
gives enough information.

Yeah got your point. So we removed userpd compatibles from dt-bindings.

"PD-X" controls user pd WCSS bring up. WCSS blocks may vary based on
number of radio's connected on board but QDSP6 is always present.
So i will keep Q6 node in soc dtsi file and move 'PD-X' node to board
dts file.
