I've communicated the issue to internal IT, still waiting for response.
Will send v2 after resolving spam issue.

Accepted. Yes I communicated AMD experts. Sorry for the mistake.

I assumed if description was accepted in .txt file it should be good in yaml.
I accept your comment anyway, will put better description

The item is a string which defines device working mode. Can be either "ldpc" or "turbo".
Please, advice what would be the correct way to set this item?

It's one item with two options "ldpc" and "turbo"

The device is "Soft Decision - Forward Eror Correction", I cannot find appropriate name in the list for this device.
This looks generic enough to me. What would be your suggestion?

Yes, this is correct.
Also, the interrupt may or may not be present, I will put this in commit message.
