Okay, I got both points. Just to be clear (and sorry for my persistency
here) it is not just a different IP interface for the NOC?

So to be on the same page with you: On the i.MX93 we now have the
BLKCTRL settting the interconnect priority and a interconnect setting
for advanced traffic shaping like bandwidth reservation?
