 Further, the caller should be aware of the following assumptions made by the
 dispatcher:
 
--  The caller of the API is a component running in EL3; for example, the *Secure
-   Partition Manager*.
+-  The caller of the API is a component running in EL3; for example, a RAS
+   driver.
 
 -  The requested dispatch will be permitted by the Exception Handling Framework.
    I.e. the caller must make sure that the requested dispatch has sufficient
    priority so as not to cause priority level inversion within Exception
    Handling Framework.
 
--  At the time of the call, the active context is Secure, and it has been saved.
+-  The caller must be prepared for the SDEI dispatcher to restore the Non-secure

--  Upon returning success, the Non-secure context will be restored and setup for
-   the event dispatch, and it will be the active context. The Non-secure context
-   should not be modified further by the caller.
+-  The call will block until the SDEI client completes the event (i.e. when the
+   client calls either ``SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE`` or ``SDEI_COMPLETE_AND_RESUME``).
 
--  The API returning success only means that the dispatch is scheduled at the
-   next ``ERET``, and not immediately performed. Also, the caller must be
-   prepared for this API to return failure and handle accordingly.
-
--  Upon completing the event (i.e. when the client calls either
