I would prefer to go the other way around and remove the unused/unsupported
IDs entirely and for good.

Well, I do see your point here and you are not asking for us to add gfx
support back, but only help to have this protection here.

However I'm afraid that these entries in the list would only cause
further confusion. Couldn't they get defined inside your .c directly as
a const deny_list? so when we go there and remove the missing bits
of CNL we don't conflict or cause undersired issues to you.
