Hi Sudeep,

I'm tring to use CRS with GAS to report PCC channel ID and get other 
informations driver need by address.
I found a way to obtain the generic register information according to 
"Referencing the PCC address space" in ACPI spec.
And driver also get the PCC generic register information successfully.

But I don't know how to set and use the address in PCC register.
Where should this address come from?
It seems that ACPI spec is not very detailed about this.
Do you have any suggestions?

On the other hand, we think that System Memory space + method can also 
achieve above goal.
What do you think of that?

Best regards,
