When reading or writing MHI registers, the core assumes that the physical link is a memory mapped PCI link. This assumption may not hold for all MHI devices. The controller knows what is the physical link (ie PCI, I2C, SPI, etc), and therefore knows the proper methods to access that link. The controller can also handle link specific error scenarios, such as reading -1 when the PCI link went down. Therefore, it is appropriate that the MHI core requests the controller to make register accesses on behalf of the core, which abstracts the core from link specifics, and end up removing an unnecessary assumption.

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.
