Sorry I misunderstood your question.

I made mistake when I analyzed the possbile combination for mode and
PCSROffset so I thought it's the only case should handle:
{ EDDEVID_IMPL_EDPCSR_EDCIDSR, EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 }

Below three combinations are possible to exist; so you are right, I
should move this out for the checking:
{ EDDEVID_IMPL_NONE,           EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 }
{ EDDEVID_IMPL_EDPCSR_EDCIDSR, EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 }
{ EDDEVID_IMPL_FULL,           EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 }
