IMO the files->eval() function should also use the provided data instead of
intel_gt. This will also allow us to drop the intel_gt parameter in this
function, which in turn means we can use this function directly from all the
levels.

do you mean something like this:

-       bool (*eval)(const struct intel_gt *gt);
+       bool (*eval)(void *data);

?

yes


I am missing the use case, though, what is it that cannot be
reached by the gt so that it needs to be more generic?

It's not a problem of reaching it from gt but the other way around, I don't want the caller to have to retrieve a gt variable it don't needs just to pass it to this function and then go back to the actual required data from gt inside of the eval function. Anything you need for your evaluation should be reachable from the struct used as data for the debugfs. To make a concrete example, I want to avoid an unneeded guc_to_gt inside intel_guc_debugfs_register that would also require a matched guc = &gt->uc.guc inside the eval function, passing guc (i.e. the data) straight in the eval is cleaner IMO.

Do you want to use it at i915 level?

Thanks for the review,
Andi
