Dear Aneesh,
In message caf0224e47434bdba2623faeea12bd9a@DM2PR03MB415.namprd03.prod.outlook.com you wrote:

Yes, it is a 1:1 mapping from SoC to ISBC version but we have multiple SoC's having the same ISBC version. So using the SoC names would result in having a long list of SoC's wherever we are doing some stuff specific to the ISBC version. Also in future, we might have new versions of ISBC with more features. SO having multiple SoC specific checks inside the code would lead to confusion.
So don't use code, and instead make this data-driven. Use a lookup-table.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
