The usual problem is that if something is not put to use, it quickly 
rots or becomes misused for newer platforms. We have seen this with the 
some of DPU features.

In case of GC (and the freshly defined DPU_DSPP_IGC, but not used) we 
have three options:
- drop the unused GC from msm8998_sblk.
- keep things as is, single unused GC entry
- fill all the sblk with the correct information in hope that it stays 
correct

Each of these options has its own drawbacks. I have slight bias towards 
the last option, to have the information in place (as long as it is 
accurate).
