Sorry, I didn't explain it clearly.

There are 2 kind of GCE event signal:
- The SW token means: a GCE HW event signal triggered by SW drivers.
e.g. SW driver append a GCE cmd to set a GCE HW event after a specific
GCE cmd. Or SW driver use CPU to write a event id to GCE register to
trigger the GCE HW event corresponding to that event id.

- The HW event means: a GCE HW event signal triggered by HW engines.
e.g. When HW OVL fetches all the data in frame buffer, HW OVL will send
a frame done irq and a frame done GCE HW event(via HW bus directly) in
the same time.
