Wouldn't it be a better approach to propose deprecating the field when
there is a readily available alternative, i.e. not a spec from a
different body in beta stage?

To me, this new SMC support will take an appreciable amount of time to
be implemented in FW by SiPs when actually released. And if it requires
an ATF upgrade - which I guess it does - then that's a big job.

Thanks,
John
