OK

Yes, it is. Thanks

AFAIK this bit is reserved in VDMA, so reading it can lead to any
random thing.. I would say that potentially it could even be used for
other purposes in future IP releases..

IMHO if someone will ever enable debug prints for debugging something
and then he/she reports us a log, then it would be useful to see in
the log if the IP was SG or not..
