Mostly correct. Historically it's always been 0x8, but it's not
guaranteed. And it will be different on some upcoming SoCs.

You're not missing anything. The full aggregation logic isn't necessary
for BCMs with an enable_mask. It was just a bit simpler to implement
this way. And the extra time spent in the aggregation logic should be
minimal. But, it could certainly be rewritten to have an entirely
separate, simpler "aggregation" loop than the full BCMs.

Yeah, the patch shouldn't be necessary anymore in that case. Though
keeping it would protect us against div-by-zero in case of something
unexpected in cmd_db.

True, though in practice it should never be a problem. Currently, there
are only two use cases for enable_mask -- "on/off" BCMs and ACV. The
enable_mask for on/off BCMs is always 0x1. The only time enable_mask !=
0x1 is for ACV, but keepalive should never be set for ACV. I agree this
is a bit of a logical hole, though. And could break in the future for
as-yet undefined usage of enable_mask.
