The raw register reads/writes are there as micro-optimizations to avoid
multiple pointer indirections on uncore->regs. Presumably this is useful
when there are plenty of register reads/writes in the same
function. However, the display irq handling only has a few raw
reads/writes. Remove them for simplification.

I think that comment didn't age well. Not to say there's something wrong
with this commit, but just to make sure we are aware of the additional
stuff going on and we if we are ok with that.

using intel_de_read() in place of raw_reg_read() will do (for newer
platforms):

	1) Read FPGA_DBG to detect unclaimed access before the actual read
	2) Find the relevant forcewake for that register, acquire and wait for ack
	3) readl(reg)
	4) Read FPGA_DBG to detect unclaimed access after the actual read
	5) Trace reg rw

That's much more than a pointer indirection. Are we ok with that in the
irq?  Also, I don't know why but we have variants to skip tracing (step
5 above), but on my books a disabled tracepoint is order of magnitudes
less overhead than 1, 2 and 4.

btw, if we drop the raw accesses, then we can probably drop (1) above.

Honestly, I don't really know.

The thing is, we have these ad hoc optimizations all over the place. Why
do we have the raw access in two places, but not everywhere in irq
handling? The pointer indirection thing really only makes sense if you
have a lot of access in a function, but that's not the case. You do have
a point about everything else.

What would the interface be like if display were its own module? We
couldn't just wrap it all in a bunch of macros and static inlines. Is
the end result that display irq handling needs to call functions via
pointers in another module? Or do we need to move the register level irq
handling to xe and i915 cores, and handle the display parts at a higher
abstraction level?

BR,
Jani.

The "why only two" places is I think simply an artefact of refactoring 
and code evolution. Initially all IRQ handling was in one function, then 
later gen11 and display parts got split out as more platforms were 
added. For example a3265d851e28 ("drm/i915/irq: Refactor gen11 display 
interrupt handling").

As for the original rationale, it was described in commits like:

2e4a5b25886c ("drm/i915: Prune gen8_gt_irq_handler")
c48a798a7447 ("drm/i915: Trim the ironlake+ irq handler")

Obviosuly, once a portion of a handler was/is extracted, pointer caching 
to avoid uncore->regs reloads may not make full sense any more due 
function calls potentially overshadowing that cost.

As for unclaimed debug, I would say it is probably okay to not burden 
the irq handlers with it, but if the display folks think a little bit of 
extra cost in this sub-handlers is fine that would sound plausible to me 
given the frequency of display related interrupts is low. So for me 
patch is fine if it makes the display decoupling easier.

AFAIR no trace variants were not for performance but to avoid log spam 
when debugging stuff. From things like busy/polling loops.
