The flags are bounded by what's in HDM decoders, I don't see them
moving so fast that the kernel can not keep up. The rationale for the
split is the same as the split between ACPI NFIT and the LIBNVDIMM
core. The ACPI specifics are just one way to convey a common platform
attribute to the core.

In fact this was one of the main feedbacks of the initial "ND"
subsystem which eventually became LIBNVDIMM [1]. ND stood for "NFIT
Defined" and the arch split between ACPI specific and Linux
translation has paid off over the years.

Maybe call it min_len then?

These settings can be changed later on a switch-level decoder, for a
root-level decoder these initial values are fixed.
