mask should be a nir_component_mask_t.

Mind calling this clear_unused_for_read?

And maybe just update_unused_writes?  That sounds weird but
update_unused_writes_for_write sounds weirder.

Mask should be a nir_component_mask_t.

Mind throwing an assert in here:

assert((comp & nir_derefs_equal_bit) || mask == ~(nir_component_mask_t)0);

Also local.  We may pass a pointer to a local variable into a function.
That's a thing in SPIR-V.

nir_component_mask_t.

I don't think this does quite what you want.  Perhaps

nir_component_mask_t mask = ~(nir_component_mask_t)0;

All of the comments were fairly trivial and nit-picky.  Assuming you're ok
with the changes,
