Please give more details, until then NACK for the idea.

I would rather add such things to the spec if it is any sort of limitation

OK then we are good, no need for pcc-type then ?

Not sure if you can use QWordMemory here TBH.

Yes that's my understanding. I remember seeing the driver is just fetching
pcc-chan-id using DSD style key-value pair, which means you don't need
any other info other than the PCC subspace/channel ID, just have address
as 0.
Also I see the driver uses type for just rejecting the type 3 PCCT. The
question is will the driver probe and run on a platform with type 3 PCCT ?
If so what is the problem running on such a platform. I see it is useless
check in the driver and can be dropped. Also the comment above enum
HCCS_DEV_FLAGS_INTR_B is confusing and so is the way flags is used.

Big fat NACK for _DSM for the above purpose, please stop abusing _DSM or _DSD
for such information which can be obtained with the existing _CRS.
