Dear Maintainer,

Below is the description of the features requested:

# Intel MEI GSC embedded device

  CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_GSC=m

  The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI) auxiliary
  driver for Graphics System Controller (GSC) devices embedded
  in Intel graphics devices.

  An MEI device here called GSC can be embedded in an
  Intel graphics devices, to support a range of chassis
  tasks such as graphics card firmware update and security
  tasks.

# Intel PXP services of ME Interface
