Ah sorry, it's stupid mistake on my part while writing the comment. It
should have been controller can't ack, fixed locally now thanks for
pointing it out.

No that's not true, I have already mentioned that couple of times in the
other thread. It's just wrong comment here which went unnoticed from
day#1, sorry for that.

I got the concept but SCP can't ack via protocol, protocol has no such
provision and it sets flags in MHU status register.
