Do Tokina lenses made for Canon EF have lens correction data that Canon R bodies can read ?

For instance, my R10 can read the Sigma EF 100-400 lens correction data and apply it in camera, specially useful for Video.

Just curious how that works? Is that Sigma docking system that adjust for MFA? If so why is it required for an ML body?

No, it's because Sigma have cracked the format for the data for in-camera correction of distortion and peripheral illumination.

But are Sigmas the only third party lenses that have it on Canon mounts or other brands with pin connections have it too ?

As far as I know Sigma is the only one. Tamron does not. Therefor Tokina >> highly unlikely.

I took that feature for granted. Not use it for Stills, because of Raw but for Video is a must.
BTW, the R bodies can do Distortion correction ONLY with RF lenses,

Some RF lenses need the distortion correction more than my Sigma EF lenses, so that's fine.

but CA and Peripheral can be done in video for others brands lenses as long as those have the built-in data.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
