Could you help check my comments?

Didn't find where to use it?

There is no rule to say one u64 for each property in the parameter block.
So I don't see the reason for DFL core to provide u64 array for the API,
And the size of the parameter block is decided by HW, why make the user
input the value?

As we discussed before, dfl core doesn't try to look into the parameter
block. So please just provide the const void *data & data_size for drivers.
This is the most common way to represent a data block.

Thanks,
Yilun
