Define IS_GEN() similarly to our IS_GEN_RANGE(). but use gen instead of
gen_mask to do the comparison. Now callers can pass then gen as a parameter,

Since you are calling it out here, I assume there is some good reason to
replace gen_mask with gen?

Because in this version we don't have the commit removing gen from the
device info.

You had that? Totally don't remember.. what was the goal of that?

Derive the same info from mask. gen = ffs(gen_mask) + 1, or something
like that.

Checking again I had actually removed only the macro INTEL_GEN, not the
struct member. Probably because we use that than I thought we would.


Checking gen instead of gen_mask is both simpler and generates smaller
code (although
the difference is negligible, ~100 bytes)

Ok fair, and easy enough to change back once per SKU work rekindles.

why would you need to change it back for per-SKU work? The compiler
won't do anything smarter because of using the bitfield (provided this
series is applied, which already merges IS_GEN8() || IS_GEN9() and the
like).

I think in my prototype I built a possible platform and gen mask from Kconfig options, and then applied that mask in the single __IS_GEN and __IS_PLATFORM macros, over the device and argument masks. That way DCE easily eliminates all unused branches. With the numerical gen it is still possible I suppose just possibly less elegant. So yeah, I think it's fine, was just wondering why since the commit message did not explain.

Tvrtko
