But what is the device only has CMB ? Back when this was originally 
merged, we raised this question and the answer was, "Only one is 
supported, not both." But this sounds like that is wrong.
Could we defer the "Warning" to the caller. i.e., Let the caller
figure out the if the DSB size is found and predicate that on the
DSB support on the TPDM.
