An interesting point was raised in some recent patches to document the various widths of the register subfields. I disagreed with that patch in that it transformed illegal values into some random potentially harmful valid value (and not transforming an invalid value would end up writing bits in other subfields, so equally bad). Most of our register usage is with static values so unlikely to be of concern, but for those we can document the register subfields and provide compile time checking. The resulting error message is fairly impententrable though: n file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0, from include/linux/stddef.h:4, from ./include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:4, from include/uapi/linux/types.h:13, from include/linux/types.h:5, from include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:11, from include/linux/i2c.h:29, from drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:28: In function ‘intel_dp_autotest_edid’, inlined from ‘intel_dp_handle_test_request’ at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:4230:14, inlined from ‘intel_dp_detect’ at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:4635:4: include/linux/compiler.h:429:38: error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_4173’ declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: (5) & -(1<<2) _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__) ^ include/linux/compiler.h:412:4: note: in definition of macro ‘__compiletime_assert’ prefix ## suffix(); \ ^ include/linux/compiler.h:429:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘_compiletime_assert’ _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__) ^ include/linux/bug.h:50:37: note: in expansion of macro ‘compiletime_assert’ #define BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(cond, msg) compiletime_assert(!(cond), msg) ^ include/linux/bug.h:74:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG’ BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(condition, "BUILD_BUG_ON failed: " #condition) ^ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:45:68: note: in expansion of macro ‘BUILD_BUG_ON’ #define __FIELD__(x, shift, width) ({ if (__builtin_constant_p(x)) BUILD_BUG_ON((x) & -(1<<width)); ((x) << (shift)); }) ^ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:47:32: note: in expansion of macro ‘__FIELD__’ #define INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION(x) __FIELD__(x, INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION_SHIFT, 2) ^ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:51:36: note: in expansion of macro ‘INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION’ #define INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION_BROKEN INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION(5) ^ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c:4173:36: note: in expansion of macro ‘INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION_BROKEN’ intel_dp->compliance_test_data = INTEL_DP_RESOLUTION_BROKEN; We can extend the macro to WARN_ON for instances of runtime violation - maybe useful, but it surely would bulk our code out dramatically.
