For non-E variants, it might happen that Blob protocol is enabled, but number of AES CHA are zero.
If the output of below expression is > 0, then only blob_present should be marked present or true.
For era > 10, you handled. But for era < 10, please add the below code.
	
(rd_reg32(&priv->ctrl->perfmon.cha_num_ls) &
                           CHA_ID_LS_AES_MASK) >> CHA_ID_LS_AES_SHIFT;
