The existing code that accesses the "enable_guc_submission"
parameter uses explicit numerical values for the various
possibilities, including in one case relying on boolean 0/1
mapping to specific values (which could be confusing for
maintainers).

So this patch just provides and uses names for the values
representing the DEFAULT, DISABLED, PREFERRED, and MANDATORY
submission options that the user can select (-1, 0, 1, 2
respectively).

This should produce identical code to the previous version!

I like the patches in general, but now these >= and <= seem rather out
of place. How about using == and != exclusively?

BR,
Jani.

That would leave us with undefined behaviour for values outside the
recognised range. This way it clips out-of-range values to the nearest
extremum. Of course we could make it fail completely for invalid values,
but that's just really annoying for the developer or admin who's
mistyped -1 as -2 or forgotten what the maximum supported value is in
this release. Alternatively we could convert all out-of-range values to
"system default" i.e. ignored, which might still be annoying but not
quite as much.

Any other suggestions for how to handle out-of-range values?

But if we were changing the policy shouldn't that be a separate patch?
This patch is supposed to change only the way the code is written, with
no effect to existing behaviour!

.Dave.

Also, if you look ahead to the next patch, you'll see there's a big explanatory comment about the use of signed and ordered enums:

+/*
+ * These signed ranges represent user-requested preferences.
+ * Out-of-range values from the user will be clipped towards
+ * zero: any negative value is treated as -1, anything over 2
+ * is just 2. ANY user-supplied value also taints the kernel.
+ */
 enum {
        GUC_SUBMISSION_DEFAULT = -1,
        GUC_SUBMISSION_DISABLED = 0,
        GUC_SUBMISSION_PREFERRED,
        GUC_SUBMISSION_MANDATORY
 };
+enum {
+       FIRMWARE_LOAD_DEFAULT = -1,
+       FIRMWARE_LOAD_DISABLED = 0,
+       FIRMWARE_LOAD_PREFERRED,
+       FIRMWARE_LOAD_MANDATORY
+};
+
+/* These represent the actual firmware status  */
 enum intel_guc_fw_status {
        GUC_FIRMWARE_FAIL = -1,
        GUC_FIRMWARE_NONE = 0,

.Dave.
