Not necessarily :-) .

The GRF is Rockchip's way of not sorting their own invented
additional registers. (aka a bunch of registers 

While on the older models there only ever was the one GRF
as dumping ground, newer SoCs now end up with multiple ones :-)

These are still iomem areas separate from the actual device-iomem they
work with/for but SoCs like the rk3568 now have at least 13 of them.


_But_ for the patch in question I fail to see what this set does at all.
The rk3568 (only) has XPCS_CON0 and XPCS_STATUS in its PIPE_GRF syscon
(according to the TRM), but the patch2 does strange things with
offset calculations and names that do not seem to have a match in the TRM.

So definitely more explanation on what happens here would be necessary.
