This is copy paste from the spec. We can add a reference to the syntax
chapter in the spec that express exactly this if condition (syntax is
express in pseudo code). The bitstream works exactly the same. Note
that it's not a fault to provide the control even if not needed,
drivers will kindly ignore it.
