    drm/i915: Type safe register read/write · f0f59a00
    Ville Syrjälä authored
    Make I915_READ and I915_WRITE more type safe by wrapping the register
    offset in a struct. This should eliminate most of the fumbles we've had
    with misplaced parens.
    
    This only takes care of normal mmio registers. We could extend the idea
    to other register types and define each with its own struct. That way
    you wouldn't be able to accidentally pass the wrong thing to a specific
    register access function.
    
    The gpio_reg setup is probably the ugliest thing left. But I figure I'd
    just leave it for now, and wait for some divine inspiration to strike
    before making it nice.
    
    As for the generated code, it's actually a bit better sometimes. Eg.
    looking at i915_irq_handler(), we can see the following change:
      lea    0x70024(%rdx,%rax,1),%r9d
      mov    $0x1,%edx
    - movslq %r9d,%r9
    - mov    %r9,%rsi
    - mov    %r9,-0x58(%rbp)
    - callq  *0xd8(%rbx)
    + mov    %r9d,%esi
    + mov    %r9d,-0x48(%rbp)
     callq  *0xd8(%rbx)
    
    So previously gcc thought the register offset might be signed and
    decided to sign extend it, just in case. The rest appears to be
    mostly just minor shuffling of instructions.
    
    v2: i915_mmio_reg_{offset,equal,valid}() helpers added
        s/_REG/_MMIO/ in the register defines
        mo more switch statements left to worry about
        ring_emit stuff got sorted in a prep patch
        cmd parser, lrc context and w/a batch buildup also in prep patch
        vgpu stuff cleaned up and moved to a prep patch
        all other unrelated changes split out
    v3: Rebased due to BXT DSI/BLC, MOCS, etc.
    v4: Rebased due to churn, s/i915_mmio_reg_t/i915_reg_t/
