Is that question related to the question I pasted/replied to, about
driver data? Or a new topic? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.

Anyway, for the size of the tag field: I don't have a strong opinion.
But FWIW, they're coming from this project:

https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/gitiles/coreboot/+/269b23280f928510bcadd23182294e5b9dad11ec/payloads/libpayload/include/coreboot_tables.h#36

As you can see there, we're extremely far from exhausting 16 bits, let alone 32.
