Quoting Jackie Li (2018-03-01 01:01:39)
> GuC WOPCM registers are write-once registers. Current driver code accesses
> these registers without checking the accessibility to these registers which
> will lead to unpredictable driver behaviors if these registers were touch
> by other components (such as faulty BIOS code).
> 
> This patch moves the GuC WOPCM registers updating code into
> intel_guc_wopcm.c and adds check before and after the update to GuC WOPCM
> registers so that we can make sure the driver is in a known state before
> and after writing to these write-once registers.

> v6:
>  - Made sure module reloading won't bug the kernel while doing
>    locking status checking
> 
> v7:
>  - Fixed patch format issues
> 
> v8:
>  - Fixed coding style issue on register lock bit macro definition (Sagar)
> 
> v9:
>  - Avoided to use redundant !! to cast uint to bool (Chris)
>  - Return error code instead of GEM_BUG_ON for locked with invalid register
>    values case (Sagar)
>  - Updated guc_wopcm_hw_init to use guc_wopcm as first parameter (Michal)
>  - Added code to set and validate the HuC_LOADING_AGENT_GUC bit in GuC
>    WOPCM offset register based on the presence of HuC firmware (Michal)
>  - Use bit fields instead of macros for GuC WOPCM flags (Michal)
> 
> v10:
>  - Refined variable names, removed redundant comments (Joonas)
>  - Introduced lockable_reg to handle the write once register write and
>    propagate the write error to caller (Joonas)
>  - Used lockable_reg abstraction to avoid locking bit check on generic
>    i915_reg_t (Michal)
>  - Added log message for error paths (Michal)
>  - Removed hw_updated flag and only relies on real hardware status
> 
> v11:
>  - Replaced lockable_reg with simplified function (Michal)
>  - Used new macros for locking bits of WOPCM size/offset registers instead
>    of using BIT(0) directly (Michal)
>  - use intel_wopcm_init_hw() called from intel_gem_init_hw() to do GuC
>    WOPCM register setup instead of calling from intel_uc_init_hw() (Michal)

Michal, your turn! Joonas, Sagar and myself did the first 3, so the
fourth must be yours for the royal flush ;)
