Earlier I had thought of calling ASSIGN_FW_DOMAINS_TABLE,
ASSIGN_*_MMIO_VFUNCS before intel_uncore_fw_domains_init
and use I915_READ here for reading the fuse. But that approach seems to
expose the vfuncs and forcewake table before fw domains
are initialized. Although we can get to know invalid access to
read/write accessors before fw_domains get initialized, current ordering
of fw_domains init followed by fw domain table/read/write vfuncs init
seems right. So using fw_domains_get/put as suggested above
should be the way.

Chris, Tvrtko, Mika, do you agree?
What's the complication with the fw_domains? Do the additional powerwell
depend on the fused status of the extra engines? Does it matter if the
fw_domain are prepped if they are never used?
Yes. To discover the available VD/VE engines/power domains, fuse needs to be read under blitter forcewake as RC6 will be enabled by BIOS. We do have usage of forcewake in IVB to discover FORCEWAKE_MT availability in fw_domains_init.
It should not be a problem if they are prepped but never used.
Imo, I would have placed the fused discovery in
intel_engines_init_mmio() (where we do the setup and can take forcewake).
Then adding something like intel_uncore_reinit_mmio() (which would just
prune the uncore->fw_domains) after checking fused status with commentary
doesn't seem that horrible.
Yes. This approach looks good too. But, we might want to optimize the driver_load to avoid this setup at first place
instead of pruning later.
Another related setup that can be avoided/pruned is the fw_range for the engine fused off as it can improve the fw lookup.
