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:

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.

Do you think it will be better ?
