Series removes device id checks from i915_drv.h macros and consolidates them to
i915_pciids.h as the main "database", while making intel_device_info.c reference
the former, expanding the existing concept of a platform mask by a few low bits
reserved for sub-platform mask.

This has a two-fold positive effect of firstly consolidating the list of device
ids to one location, and secondly removing the if-ladders from every
IS_<platfrom>_<subplatform> call site.

Maintenance burden is not completely removed but should be improved. One case in
point is that I have found some disagreements between device id listed in
i915_pciids.h and i915_drv.h.

At the same time platform mask code is generalized to an array of u32 to
accomodate the addition of EHL and avoid spilling into u64 which would cause a
small code size increase. Downside is that any platforms on the u32 boundary,
like currently ICL and EHL, lose the benefit of optimizing the "IS_ICELAKE ||
IS_ELKHARTLAKE" checks into a single conditional, although at the moment there
aren't any such call-sites.

Before vs after for the whole series:

     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1891093   43903    7424 1942420  1da394 i915.ko.0
1890434   43903    7424 1941761  1da101 i915.ko.1

add/remove: 12/3 grow/shrink: 92/121 up/down: 1974/-1769 (205)
...
Total: Before=1286293, After=1286498, chg +0.02%

After patch 4 v8:

     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1904423   43891    7424 1955738  1dd79a i915.ko.0
1903354   43891    7424 1954669  1dd36d i915.ko.1

add/remove: 8/3 grow/shrink: 94/124 up/down: 1623/-1889 (-266)
...
Total: Before=1293823, After=1293557, chg -0.02%

The series is an improvement, both for the reader and for the compiler,

Thanks.

Jani, Lucas? Passable? Still some objections?

Regards,

Tvrtko
