[RFC PATCH 01/17] test-dyndbg: fixup CLASSMAP usage error

From: Jim Cromie

more careful reading of test output reveals:

lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:103 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =pmf "doing categories\n"
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:105 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =p "LOW msg\n" class:MID
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:106 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =p "MID msg\n" class:HI
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:107 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =_ "HI msg\n" class unknown, _id:13

That last line is wrong, the HI class is declared.

But the enum's 1st val (explicitly initialized) was wrong; it must be
_base, not _base+1 (a DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP param). So the last
enumeration exceeded the range of mapped class-id's, which triggered
the "class unknown" report. Basically, I coded in an error, and
forgot to verify it and remove it.

RFC:

This patch fixes a bad usage of DEFINE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP(), showing that
it is too error-prone. As noted in test-dynamic-debug.c comments:

* Using the CLASSMAP api:
* - classmaps must have corresponding enum
* - enum symbols must match/correlate with class-name strings in the map.
* - base must equal enum's 1st value
* - multiple maps must set their base to share the 0-62 class_id space !!
* (build-bug-on tips welcome)

Those shortcomings could largely be fixed with a __stringify_list
(which doesn't exist) used in DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP(), on
__VA_ARGS__ a 2nd time. Then, DRM would pass DRM_UT_* ; all the
categories, in order, and not their stringifications, which created
all the usage complications above.
