+      channels within the MIV-IHC IP configuration.
+
+      A bit set to '1' indicates that the corresponding channel is disabled,
+      and any read or write operations to that channel will return zero.
+
+      A bit set to '0' indicates that the corresponding channel is enabled
+      and will be accessible through its dedicated address range registers.
+
+      The actual enable/disable state of each channel is determined by the
+      IP block’s configuration.
