The DCP index helps describe the topology of the devices connected to
the B/QMan. One might be tempted to use some address to reference said
DCP, unfortunately the pertinent registers/bits for said DCP(s) are not
into a compact region. Look at the CCSR memory map for B/QMan

In the QMan case things are marginally better. For each hardware portal
there are a handful of (vaguely named *DCx*, *DCPx* or *DCP*) registers
(configuration, performance monitoring and debugging). However, still
registers and bits spread here and there

In the BMan case things are a bit worse as the registers names are less
friendly and still spread around

Do you need specific names/offsets?
