Hi Cristian,

A couple of documentation details inline.

The implementation currently names each file using the SHMTI array index,
not the firmware-provided SHMTI ID. Please either change the implementation
to use info.sid or describe <m> as an enumeration index.

The series was posted in August 2026, so the ABI Date is currently in the
future. Please update this metadata to the actual introduction date and
the kernel version in which it is ultimately merged.

Thanks,
Fayçal
