please avoid shift and use the REG_FIELD_PREP and REG_FIELD_GET

x | 0 = x
so, please avoid it.

same here

Please use REG_GENMASK and REG_FIELD_PREP

something like

#define   RPSWCTL_MASK		REG_GENMASK(something, 9)
#define   RPSWCTL_ENABLE	REG_FIELD_PREP(RPSWCTL_MASK, 2)
#define   RPSWCTL_DISABLE	REG_FIELD_PREP(RPSWCTL_MASK, 0)

I have a strange feeling with this. Semantically...

guc_load asking guc_pc to do something...

we will need to have a xe_freq component that is detached from
the xe_guc_pc and then xe_freq exposes the sysfs and functions
like this and then it requests to guc_pc when it makes sense.

that can be done later, I agree, but we would need to at least
give this function a better name....

some more information here on the purpose and usage of this function
is needed. Specially because it should be avoided on regular cases.

hmmm... this also shows that we are then calling a function
of this component before the component is initialized!!

so, maybe we need a function called xe_guc_pc_init_early()
and then this function by itself sets this pc->rp* stuff
and manually force the freq to rp0. And we document that
the pre_init or init_early needs to be called before GuC
is loaded for faster loading of GuC.
