will update function description and/or add comment like that

in ideal world we shouldn't see any attempts from VF driver to write to
unsupported registers, so for code simplicity I would leave it as is

> Maybe we should also log there that the write is rejected ?

and in less ideal world we will have a full WARN that will have a better
visibility than traces

hmm, maybe the better solution would be to select a different register
that is marked as VF accessible, question is whether it needs to be RW

@Matt - can we pick RO register VF_CAP(0x1901f8) ?

will that be sufficient to mimics wmb?
will that work for PF/native ?
if not, what can VF do to mimics wmb on DGFX ?

I never seen any platform with has_mmio_ext, so not sure how it will
support VFs, but still, similar to xe_gt_sriov_vf_read32(), the
xe_gt_sriov_vf_write32() takes xe_reg as parameter so any adjustment
needed to handle reg.ext could be done there as needed
