[PATCH] drm/xe: Revert some changes that break a mesa debug tool

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

There is a mesa debug tool for decoding devcoredump files. Recent
changes to improve the devcoredump output broke that tool. So revert
the changes until the tool can be extended to support the new fields.

Fixes: c28fd6c358db ("drm/xe/devcoredump: Improve section headings and add tile info")
Fixes: ec1455ce7e35 ("drm/xe/devcoredump: Add ASCII85 dump helper function")
