[PATCH v4 0/3] drm/xe/i2c: alerts and controller enabling modifications

Hi,

The hardware challenges that these patches address are so severe that I'm
marking both of them as fixes. In both cases the GPU may silently end up in
unresponsive state (or worse). The second patch has been refactored so that it
includes the direct AMC alert handling in Xe instead of the normal alert handler
registration. The subject lines were also changed to highlight the fact that
these are fixes. Ramesh helped me with the testing and with the implementation
for the AMC alert handling.

Changed since v2:
- Added Fixes tag to both patches.
- i2c-designware is no longer supplied with an interrupt so it will be in
polling mode (ACCESS_POLLING will be enabled). The IRQ path in hardware can't
handle the amount of interrupts the i2c controller generates. Only the
interrupts from the SMBus Alert line are left enabled.
- The registration of the default smbus alert handler is dropped.
- The AMC alerts are handled directly in Xe. All the alerts will cause the
device to be declared as wedged at least for now.
- Cleanups proposed by Raag.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260625125939.429078-1-heikki.krogerus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Changed since v1:
- Global header for the DesignWare I2C registers which meant a bit of
patch refactoring.
- Selecting CONFIG_SMBUS in CONFIG_XE and handling smbus in xe_i2c.c instead of
separate file.
- Storing the alert device to the client array and providing enum for the
clients.
- Allowing other fields in the IC_ENABLE register to be updated except the
Enable bit.
- Can't sleep in xe_i2c_disable() so using udelay().

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260622114759.3464047-1-heikki.krogerus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This includes support for the SMBus alerts, and special handling for the
IC_ENABLE register.

Thanks,
