Hi Rob,

Thanks for your comment and sorry for late response.

Yes, as the driver returns error in the absence of SAPB port address range, this
may break the driver on platform without SAPB port. This IP needs SAPB port
to support HDCP feature using embedded HDCP crypto module.

So, to maintain backward compatibility I will modify the driver and allow it
to proceed without HDCP feature, instead of returning an error, in case of no SAPB port.
