Sorry I missed it earlier. What you suggested is logical and more appropriate. 
Will change the order of arguments.

In that case, my preference would be using  (xe_number_gt(xe__) == igt_sysfs_get_num_tiles(xe__) 
Instead of populating num_tiles in struct xe_device because other members of the structure are  being intitialized 
on the basis of ioctl call. 
Please confirm what will be more appropriate.

Correct, as of now code only caters multitile and multigt exclusively. 
Will need to enhance in case of future platform supporting both.
AFAIK adding assert/comparison in init section of for loop is not possible.
And I can't make it multiple statement macro because that will break in case of handling 
iterator in if-else condition.

The issue with this approach is for multi tile the gt indexing is same as tile indexing.
Tile0/gt0 and tile1/gt1. Multiple loop with extra conditions will be overkill and confusing to handle 
the scenario. 
1) First determine number of gt's_per_tile writing the logic as finding number of tiles.
2) For(each_tile)
      for(each_gt) run loop till total numbers of gt's because indexing doesn't start with 0. [ skip all other index's apart from index same as tile]
