At boot time the CCS mode has to be set to '1', i.e. only one CCS
will be visible to the user. Then, during the normal execution of
the driver, the user can decide to change the mode and therefore
we would need to expose more than one CCS engine.

Thanks. I started working on a dynamic rebuilt of the
uabi_engines, but in this series it wouldn't fit.

I will add the limitation during the list creation.

Thanks a lot,
