No, our core supports multifunction devices it was my misunderstanding, due to which
this condition was present.

You meant to add comments for the function clearly mentioning that hardware

You meant to add a DT property, Example: xlnx,slot_power_cap; as required property,
and use this property to call nwl_setup_sspl function. Currently this function is being invoked
in config write function if the condition meets a write to slot power capabilities register.

Since IP owner is different, we don't have exact information by that time we commented, now we got
Information from owner that both buts simultaneously.
