The GAM only has a dedicated steering register on DG2; on XEHPSDV it
shares 0xFDC with all the other kinds of steering, so it is important to
handle this range independently of the MSLICE range and make sure we
properly re-steer GAM accesses to the primary instance (and not just any
random MSLICE) there.

On DG2, if we assume firmware behaves properly, the dedicated steering
register is initialized properly and we don't need to explicitly
re-steer.  However this patch will ensure that we don't needlessly
re-program 0xFDC according to MSLICE rules when accessing a GAM
register.

There's also the worry that firmware may try to "sanitize" the registers
at startup by programming them to what it thinks are appropriate default
values.  Given that DG2's primary GAM is unusual (instance 1, instead of
instance 0 as on other platforms), this feels like a place where
firmware bugs could creep in.  They hopefully/probably won't, but
ensuring we forcefully initialize 0xFE0 to the proper value just ensures
that we don't even have to worry about it.

Finally, splitting the GAM from MSLICE ensures we get more accurate
debug messages from the drm_printer in dmesg and debugfs.
