I presume each platform vendor would provide a provisioning 
script/method which would configure the WB properties.
It can be controlled through that.

Yeah - WB exception event is not supported in this series. I will push 
another change to support that.
With WB enabled, any BKOPS exception level warrants the vcc to be on.
This is to minimize performance impact. Please correct this 
understanding from device perspective.
