Sysfw provides an option for requesting exclusive access for a device using the flags MSG_FLAG_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE. If this flag is not used, the device is meant to be shared across hosts. Once a device is requested from a host with this flag set, any request to this device from a different host will be nacked by sysfw. Current tisci driver enables this flag for every device requests. But this may not be true for all the devices. So provide a separate commands in driver for exclusive and shared device requests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
