That is totally fine, let's remove it instead.

But then you don't see the ENC block? It starts at 0x100 (or 0x200) so
then the length should be longer... it should in fact depend on even/odd
DCE then?

Great, thanks!

Thanks for confirming that this is not the case in a followup mail :)

This is referring to the NOTE: comment above. There's _base as address
here, yes, but there's no context here that it'll be used in duplicate
fashion, unlike the SoC catalog files. The request is to just drop it
here as it adds no value.

I agree it is better, but we seem to be very selective in whether to
stick to the "old" principles in DPU versus applying a new pattern that
isn't used elsewhere yet (i.e. your request to _not_ shuffle the order
of .dsc and .dsc_count assignment to match other .x and .x_count, and do
that in a future patch instead). If we want to be consistent
everywhere, these should be #defines that we'll flatten out in a
followup if at all.
