I think the question here is: what are you expecting to happen in case 
of error and on what platforms? let's say we have an invalid table entry 
for ADLP, would the expectation be that all GuC platforms won't boot, or 
just ADLP? And is that only if we have enable_guc set to a positive 
value, or even if enable_guc=0?
