Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:
1. Fix the bug that write index of SMBus ring buffer was out of sync.
2. For PCI Information such as PCI Vendor ID other than BDF, FW also keeps their value. So, fixed to respond the value directly from FW instead of getting them from HW.
3. With current FW, host should use AUSE=1 to run Block Erase in Sanitize command. If block erase failed, host can use Exit failure mode to release the failure status
4. FW is fixed to enable the SRAM 1-bit error correction feature during the initialization of the SoC.
5. Modify the drive FW to re-allocate the DRAM range for VDM to eliminate the arbiter from being locked when three different DRAM Wr access (one is for VDM) come in simultaneously.

Enhancements:
