Thanks Hanjun for pin pointing the exact references in the ACPI spec.

Hi Wang,

You seemed to be posting random patches to add SCPI support in ACPI.
You will get a NACK on all unless you explore PCC and PCC OpRegion in
ACPI and update your firmware to make it work on your platform.
You had sent a patch updating the mailbox driver which is not present
in the upstream. You must not need that driver when you use PCCT in
the ACPI firmware, so please drop the driver and any changes to that
as well. Without seeing the actual driver you are using with SCPI, I
can't help much on how to use it with PCC. Please refer chapter 14 as
Hanjun mention and check how to write one to your platform. Think
PCCT as mailbox node equivalent in DT and you *must not* just add similar
node in your ACPI DSDT with some custom HID/CID.

Hope this helps and gives you better idea on the suggestions made so far.
