+ *	Bandwidth allocation is done dynamically by the manager based on active
+ *	channels on the bus, message-bandwidth requests made by SLIMbus devices.
+ *	Based on current bandwidth usage, manager chooses a frequency to run
+ *	the bus at (in steps of 'clock-gear', 1 through 10, each clock gear
+ *	representing twice the frequency than the previous gear).
+ *	Manager is also responsible for entering (and exiting) low-power-mode
+ *	(known as 'clock pause').
+ *	Manager can do handover of framer if there are multiple framers on the
+ *	bus and a certain usecase warrants using certain framer to avoid keeping
+ *	previous framer being powered-on.
+ *
+ *	Controller here performs duties of the manager device, and 'interface
+ *	device'. Interface device is responsible for monitoring the bus and
+ *	reporting information such as loss-of-synchronization, data
