Wow, I lost context since its been months since your last response.

But, I refreshed some of it. You are right, we use the status bits 
present in the INTF_TEAR_AUTOREFRESH_CONFIG and INTF_TEAR_ 
AUTOREFRESH_STATUS is unused.

I got confused between the status bit present in the two registers as 
both relate to autorefresh.

But, the offset of of INTF_TEAR_ AUTOREFRESH_STATUS is still at 0x2c0 as 
i wrote before so 0x2c4 is the accurate length of this block.

And yes, all the blk lengths should be accurate now in the hw catalog 
after the rework and reviews of that rework.
