[Meng, Li (Jassmine)]
Yes, you are right.
Here we only provide an interface for users to disable preferred core.
Default platform enables preferred core if HW supports this feature.

When HW doesn't support this feature, the variable "prefcore" will be set false.
Only when Hw support preferred core and users set "enable", , the variable "prefcore" will be set true.
