I know we currently assume that DISCOVER regs on v15 and GPU regs on
older gens are starting at zero, but I'd prefer to make this explicit
with something like:

/* DISCOVER register block always starts at offset
* zero, so does the GPU register block on older
* GPUs.
*/
void __iomem *discover = ptdev->iomem;
u64 gpu_id64 = gpu_read64(discover, GPU_WIDE_ID);

I'd probably move the !has_wide_id() logic to an else branch instead of
assigning unconditionally, and then fixing up if has_wide_id() is true:

if (GPU_ARCH_MAJOR(gpu_id32) == GPU_WIDE_COMPAT) {
u64 gpu_id64 = gpu_read64(ptdev->iomem, GPU_WIDE_ID);
if (!gpu_id64)
return -ENXIO;

ptdev->gpu_info.gpu_wide_id = gpu_id64;
gpu_id->arch.major = GPU_WIDE_ARCH_MAJOR(gpu_id64);
gpu_id->arch.minor = GPU_WIDE_ARCH_MINOR(gpu_id64);
gpu_id->arch.rev = GPU_WIDE_ARCH_REV(gpu_id64);
gpu_id->prod_major = GPU_WIDE_PROD_MAJOR(gpu_id64);
gpu_id->ver.major = GPU_WIDE_VER_MAJOR(gpu_id64);
gpu_id->ver.minor = GPU_WIDE_VER_MINOR(gpu_id64);
gpu_id->ver.status = GPU_WIDE_VER_STATUS(gpu_id64);
} else {
ptdev->gpu_info.gpu_id = gpu_id32;
gpu_id->arch.major = GPU_ARCH_MAJOR(gpu_id32);
gpu_id->arch.minor = GPU_ARCH_MINOR(gpu_id32);
gpu_id->arch.rev = GPU_ARCH_REV(gpu_id32);
gpu_id->prod_major = GPU_PROD_MAJOR(gpu_id32);
gpu_id->ver.major = GPU_VER_MAJOR(gpu_id32);
gpu_id->ver.minor = GPU_VER_MINOR(gpu_id32);
gpu_id->ver.status = GPU_VER_STATUS(gpu_id32);
}

Specify that it's zero on v14- HW, and also update the gpu_id doc to
mention it will be zero on v15+.
