So it is a bridge chip? Please use that terminology since Linux DRM often talks about bridges.
Replying to self: no it's not a bridge, it's a WAN thingy.
So perhaps write that this is a WAN interface adapter chip.
Hi Linus
In the E1/T1/J1 world, framer is a well understood concept. Maybe the text needs a bit more background information to explain what this is to somebody who does not have an old school telecoms background.

Maybe I can add in my commit log: --- 8< --- This kind of component can be found in old telecommunication system. It was used to digital transmission of many simultaneous telephone calls by time-division multiplexing. Also using HDLC protocol, WAN networks can be reached through the framer. --- 8< ---
Do you think it will be better ?
