Hi Krzysztof,
    I have tried to explain the slot in the previous mail, although I'm not sure I made that clear. I think I need an example here. In our imx8q platform, we just want to assign slot 0 to linux, but in imx9 platform, we may want to assign slot 0 to linux, but slot 1 to a vm. So we don't want to enable power of slot 1 in linux.

Best regards,
Ming
