do you mean:

	intel_gt_print.h
	intel_guc_print.h
	intel_huc_print.h

with just macros or also with all functions that work with drm_printer?

to solve this we should really consider splitting out GuC and HuC
definitions to dedicated _types.h files and only include them in
i915_drv.h (and print macros are orthogonal for this problem)
