bw_report is only needed for selecting the correct value from the values IMC measured. It is a member in the resctrl_val_param struct and is always set to "reads". The value is then checked in resctrl_val() using validate_bw_report_request() that besides validating the input, assumes it can mutate the string which is questionable programming practice. Simplify handling bw_report: - Convert validate_bw_report_request() into get_bw_report_type() that inputs and returns const char *. Use NULL to indicate error. - Validate the report types inside measure_mem_bw(), not in resctrl_val(). - As resctrl_val() no longer needs bw_report for anything, it can just be passed to measure_mem_bw() by the ->measure() hooks.
Needs imperative tone
