There is a comment in the previous function
shuffle_32bit_load_result_to_64bit_data that explains the similar
situation that still applies in shuffle_32bit_load_result_to_16bit_data,
what about including the following comment.

/* A temporary that we will use to shuffle the 16-bit data of each
 * component in the vector into valid 32-bit data. We can't write
 * directly to dst because dst can be the same as src and in that
 * case the first MOV in the loop below would overwrite the data
 * read in the second MOV.
 */

But in any case I've just checked, and at first sight at the 6 final
uses of this function this situation never happens.

The same previous issue applies here, but I've seen that at commit
030d2b5016360caf44ebfa3f6951a6d676316a89
i965/fs: Return a fs_reg from shuffle_64bit_data_for_32bit_write you
changed the original behavior of this function.

"All callers of this function allocate a fs_reg expressly to pass into
it.  It's much easier if we just let the helper allocate the register.
While we're here, we switch it to doing the MOVs with an integer type so
that we don't accidentally canonicalize floats on half of a double."

In this case we only have one call where src and dst are the same at
nir_intrinsic_store_output at nir_emit_tcs_intrinsic. Maybe I can
re-factor the code following your approach.
