+ Slimbus is standard interface between baseband and audio codec,
+ and other peripheral components in mobile terminals.

Perhaps this is a fussy comment but this description of slimbus makes pretty heavy use of mobile phone jargon. Admittedly it is jargon from the slimbus spec which, as standards go, seems rather myopic about its potential user base.

However, even the standards own self-description doesn't limit its role to baseband <-> peripherals. What happened to the application processor/main-SoC?

Also would an "If unsure, choose N." be useful? It could be quite a long time before someone who doesn't know they need slimbus actually finds that they do.
