I did see another series which removes src_blk from the catalog (I am 
yet to review that one) . Lets assume that one is fine and this change 
will be going on top of that one right?

The concern I have with this change is that although I do agree that we 
should be in favor of using debugfs/dri/0/kms ( i have used it a few 
times and it works pretty well ), devcoredump does not have the support 
to dump sub-blocks . Something which we should add with priority because 
even with DSC blocks with the separation of enc/ctl blocks we need that 
like I wrote in one of the responses.

So the "len" of the blocks having sub-blocks will be ignored in favor of 
the len of the sub-blocks.

If we remove this without adding that support first, its a loss of debug 
functionality.

Can we retain these blocks and remove dpu_debugfs_create_regset32 in a 
different way?
