I support progress of this draft, I believe it is ready for wglc.

Cheers,
Jeff

> ##Ramki## Yes. In such scenarios if an RP is downgraded from a version that was supporting packing to one that doesn’t support it, then RP will not respond to the packed registers. In such cases one could send an unpacked  register to RP to check if the RP supports it or fallback to data register and then discover the RP capability.
