For firmware, DSD way is simpler and easier to manage these virtual 
platform devices,
and it's an usual way in kernel.
Driver only needs to get a fixed value, like pcc-id and type, here.

Any vantage if using _CRS with GAS compared with DSD?

This flag is used to report other properties, and every bit means a 
property.
For instance, driver doesn't need to request PCC channel during the 
probing phase if driver use PCC operation Region.
