Hi Siddharth,

I think this is applicable to LGA IP as per the method you mentioned. 
However, for HPA IP, additional repetitive code needs to be added in the 
following code.

Regarding the "quirk_retrain_flag" tag, I reviewed this submission 
record and it appears to be a workaround method. Can it be considered 
that it is not a universal method? Or is the same processing logic also 
added in the HPA?
