As I mentioned internally, I'd still prefer
if (WARN_ON(I915_READ_NOTRACE(FPGA_DBG) & FPGA_DBG_RM_NOCLAIM))

because I don't think the message is particularly useful with a
backtrace in hand.

Also on second thought since the internal review, it's probably not
super useful to have the WARN in the UNCLAIMED_REG_CLEAR, because as
you've mentioned before, it's usually from snd-hda or something like
that. So I'd probably get rid of that unless someone else sees a super
cool usage for it.


With or without painting my color:
