Sure.

Sure, I understand the thought process behind it. Will a helper to do it 
is OK. Justifying below for the helper.

I am concerned  about the scenario, where user ends up considering non 
zero return of FORCEWAKE_ALL as success.

Having multiple success or failure condition for same API, based on 
input parameter looks bad design to me.

ref = xe_force_wake_get(fw, GT)
if (ref) -> means success condn

whereas

ref = xe_force_wake_put(fw, ALL)
if (ref) -> doesn't necessarily means successfully awakened all domain.

User can very easily interpret it wrongly:
ref = xe_force_wake_get(fw, ALL)
if(!ref)
	error_handling;

/* Irrespective of failure or success of xe_force_wake_get code reaches 
here */
do_multiple_operations(); /* Needed all fw domains supported on GT to be 
awake */

xe_force_wake_put(fw, ref);

We have use-cases throughout the driver where user relies on 
success/failure for FORCEWAKE_ALL domains.

I assume this API is to check whether ref has domain in it or not. Will 
be good helper to have for such scenarios, Which are currently not there 
in driver.

I believe a helper to determine success or failure of force_wake_get, 
instead of caller doing it will streamline all the domains and usecases.

int xe_force_wake_get_status(enum domain, unsigned int fw_ref)
{
   return  (fw_ref == domain) ? 0 : -ETIMEDOUT;
}

Usecases:

A) No error check, just continue in case of failure too.

ref =  xe_force_wake_get(fw, domain /* can be ALL_DOMAIN */);
do_operations();
xe_force_wake_put(fw, ref);

B) error check, abort in case of failure.

ref =  xe_force_wake_get(fw, domain /* can be ALL_DOMAIN */);
int err = xe_force_wake_get_status(domain, ref);
if(err) {
	 xe_force_wake_put(fw, ref);
          return err;
         }
do_operations();
xe_force_wake_put(fw, ref);

c) get all domain, but check specific domain:

ref =  xe_force_wake_get(fw, ALL_domain);
    if (xe_force_wake_get_status(domain, ref))
         dmesg_warn( "unable to awake all requested domain \n");

     if (xe_fwref_has_domain(fw, SINGLE_DOMAIN))
         do_operations()

    xe_force_wake_put(fw, ref);
