The difference is SSPP level vs chipset level. This patch was made with 
chipset level in mind and had to expand the format list for each chipset.

What I am suggesting is its a SSPP level decision. Please note its not 
just P010 UBWC but P010 UBWC FOR Vig SSPP.

So expanding each chipset's format list is not needed when the decision 
can be made just on the basis of the SSPP's feature flag OR the presence 
of the csc blk.
