In certain situations it's useful to be able to read or write to an
offset that is calculated by having the memory layout given by a struct
declaration. Usually we are going to read/write a u8, u16, u32 or u64.

Add a pair of macros dma_buf_map_read_field()/dma_buf_map_write_field()
to calculate the offset of a struct member and memcpy the data from/to
the dma_buf_map. We could use readb, readw, readl, readq and the write*
counterparts, however due to alignment issues this may not work on all
architectures. If alignment needs to be checked to call the right
function, it's not possible to decide at compile-time which function to
call: so just leave the decision to the memcpy function that will do
exactly that on IO memory or dereference the pointer.

Please don't add a new function. Rather please add the offset parameter to dma_buf_map_memcpy_to() and update the callers. There are only two calls to dma_buf_map_memcpy_to() within the kernel. To make it clear what the offset applies to, I'd call the parameter 'dst_offset'.

With the dma_buf_map_memcpy_to() changes, please just call this function dma_buf_map_memcpy_from().

As the original author of this file, I feel like this shouldn't be here. At least not until we have another driver using that pattern.

Let me try to clear out the confusion. Then maybe I can extend
the documentation of this function in v2 if I'm able to convince this is
useful here.

This is not about importer/exporter, having this to work cross-driver.
This is about using dma_buf_map (which we are talking about on renaming
to iosys_map or something else) for inner driver
allocations/abstractions. The abstraction added by iosys_map helps on
sharing the same functions we had before.  And this macro here is very
useful when the buffer is described by a struct layout. Example:

	struct bla {
		struct inner inner1;
		struct inner inner2;
		u32 x, y ,z;
	};

Functions that would previously do:

	struct bla *bla = ...;

	bla->x = 100;
	bla->y = 200;
	bla->inner1.inner_inner_field = 30;

Can do the below, having the system/IO memory abstracted away
(calling it iosys_map here instead of dma_buf_map, hopeful it helps):

	struct iosys_map *map = ...;

	iosys_map_write_field(map, struct bla, x, 100);
	iosys_map_write_field(map, struct bla, y, 200);
	iosys_map_write_field(map, struct bla,
			      inner1.inner_inner_field, 30);

When we are using mostly the same map, the individual drivers can add
quick helpers on top. See the ads_blob_write() added in this series,
which guarantees the map it's working on is always the guc->ads_map,
while reducing verbosity to use the API. From patch
"drm/i915/guc: Add read/write helpers for ADS blob":

#define ads_blob_read(guc_, field_)                                    \
       dma_buf_map_read_field(&(guc_)->ads_map, struct __guc_ads_blob, \
                              field_)

#define ads_blob_write(guc_, field_, val_)                             \
       dma_buf_map_write_field(&(guc_)->ads_map, struct __guc_ads_blob,\
                               field_, val_)

So in intel_guc_ads, we can have a lot of:

-	bla->x = 100;
+	ads_blob_write(guc, x, 10);
