dt-bindings: interconnect: qcom-bwmon: Add Maili cpu-bwmon compatiblegrafted
Add the Qualcomm Maili SoC compatible string for the CPU bandwidth
monitor (BWMONv4). This falls back to the sdm845-bwmon compatible,
consistent with the existing pattern used by other recent SoCs such as
sm8750 and kaanapali.

So every time +the client computer wants to read, e.g., /dev/nb0, it sends a +request over TCP to the server, which will reply with the data read. +This can be used for stations with low disk space (or even diskless) +to borrow disk space from another computer. +Unlike NFS, it is possible to put any filesystem on it, etc. + +For more information, or to download the nbd-client and nbd-server +tools, go to https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd. + +The nbd kernel module need only be installed on the client +system, as the nbd-server is completely in userspace.
