Indeed, that's exactly what I raised during the review of these flags.
However, note that the Cedrus driver seem to do something with
VALID but not ACTIVE DPB entries, although maybe that's not really needed.
If you could check the code and drop the VALID usage, and confirm
ACTIVE is the only flag needed, that would be nice.
Now, OTOH, having an extra flag is not hurting us.
It might be more consistent for applications, as it
would mean simpler setup of the DPB, and more consistent mapping
between application kept DPB and kernel DPB.
