Please add Cc:s to patches for people who comment on the previous
iterations of the patches.

This is still bit confusing. How exactly is WOPCM size different from
the WOPCM top? If the WOPCM is used also by the hardware, when GuC is
disabled, then it should be intel_wopcm_*. If we only need this
information for the single GuC register programming, then I think this
should instead be local to programming that GuC register.

There should be a very clear split in the registers/functions to show
what is specific to the some hardware function and what is more
generic.

If this is all GuC related and only ever needs to be programmed for GuC
as the current naming suggest, then it's a great question why we are
not programming the register according to some firmware reported size
instead of replicating here.
