Like I wrote in reply to v1, I'm not convinced we should do this at all.

What makes *these* registers so important they must be in device info?
What makes most of i915_reg.h so unimportant they don't deserve the same
treatment? Where do you draw the line?

I'd draw the line at, no registers at device info.

BR,
Jani.
