[PATCH v4 08/20] gpu: nova-core: allow register aliases

[Alexandre Courbot]

Some registers (notably scratch registers) don't have a definitive
purpose, but need to be interpreted differently depending on context.

Expand the register!() macro to support a syntax indicating that a
register type should be at the same offset as another one, but under a
different name, and with different fields and documentation.

+/// It is also possible to create a alias register by using the `=> PARENT` syntax. This is useful

+///    31:0     value as u32, "Raw value";
+///
+/// register!(SCRATCH_0_BOOT_STATUS => SCRATCH_0, "Boot status of the firmware" {
+///     0:0     completed as bool, "Whether the firmware has completed booting";
+/// ```
+///
+/// In this example, `SCRATCH_0_BOOT_STATUS` uses the same I/O address as `SCRATCH_0`, while also
+/// providing its own `completed` method.
