Thats correct. Supported only in AR50 generations. Not available in 8250.

This looks okay to extend the support for new RC mode. I see an issue in
handling this new RC for non supported SOCs. This needs to be fixed in
hfi_cmds.c while preparing the packet. MBR for unsupported SOC should be treated
as -ENOTSUPP instead of -EINVAL which would terminate the session.

This need to be fixed.
