The commit simplifies the existing check in immutable ROM_EXT, which determines whether to enable the RvDM ePMP region based on the lifecycle state (prod / non-prod). The simplified check only tests for PROD and PROD-END states to reduce space cost by eliminating TEST-UNLOCK states checks.
One potential downside is that invalid LCS states will be treated as non-prod, leading to the RvDM region being enabled. However, this is mitigated by the fact that debugging requires JTAG, which verifies LCS in hardware. Additionally, invalid LCS will be detected later in the mutable ROM_EXT stage when reading the lifecycle.
