Why only for this? Since this whole file is for Synopsys DesignWare core based PCIe IP,
I thought there is specific prefix required. Am I wrong? Also, CDM checking is a feature
of IP and DWC based implementations can choose either to enable this feature at hardware level
or not. And whoever enabled it at hardware level (like Tegra194) can set this flag to
enable corresponding software support.
