I have absolutely no idea.

I'm somewhat thinking "CML being a separate platform" is a separate
problem from "CFL PCI ID macros including CML".

I'm starting to think the PCI ID macros should be grouped by "does the
platform have a name of its own", not by how those macros are actually
used by the driver. Keeping them separate at the PCI ID macro level just
reduces the pain in maintaining the PCI IDs, and lets us wiggle stuff
around in the driver how we see fit.

And that spins back to Rodrigo's question, "Why only CML and not AML and
WHL as well?". Yeah, indeed.

If we decide to stop treating CML as a separate platform in the
*driver*, that's another matter.

BR,
Jani.
