Would prefer to keep the log for cases when enum is expanded while the 
switch does
not handle it.

Incase enum is expanded while the switch does not handle it, default

It does compile while it gave me failure while doing the functional

I have fixed it in next series of patch.

This will not work as driver will write on the register irrespective of 
scm
