drm/xe: Remove unused "mmio_ext" code
The "mmio_ext" and 'REG_EXT" code is currently unused on any existing platform. Going forward, this also isn't the design we want to use for any future platforms/features either, so we should just go ahead and remove the dead code to avoid confusion. mmio_ext was originally added in an attempt to hack around the early (mis)design of the Xe driver, which used xe_gt as the target for all register MMIO access, even those completely unrelated to the GT subunit of the hardware. With the introduction of commit 34953ee3 ("drm/xe: Create dedicated xe_mmio structure") and its follow-up patches, that misdesign has been corrected and access to register MMIO regions specific to hardware units is now done through xe_mmio structures which encapsulate an iomap, region size, and some other metadata. Although all of the registers used by the driver today happen to fall within one specific PCI BAR region, and thus re-use a single device-wide iomap, there's no requirement that this stay true for future platforms or features. I.e., if a future platform adds a new 'foo' hardware unit that exists at a different area in the BAR, or even in a completely different BAR, then that would be handled by doing a separate iomap of that unit's register region and wrapping it in its own 'struct xe_mmio foo_regs' structure. The pointer to the new 'foo_regs' could be placed within the xe_device, xe_tile, xe_gt, etc., according to where the new hardware unit falls within the current hardware hierarchy. This effectively reverts the following commits, although parts of these commits had already vanished or changed with the earlier xe_mmio refactor work: - commit 399a1332 ("drm/xe: add 28-bit address support in struct xe_reg") - commit fdef72e0 ("drm/xe: add a flag to bypass multi-tile config from MTCFG reg") - commit 866b2b17 ("drm/xe: add MMIO extension support flags") - commit ef29b390 ("drm/xe: map MMIO BAR according to the num of tiles in device desc") - commit a4e2f3a2 ("drm/xe: refactor xe_mmio_probe_tiles to support MMIO extension") Cc: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Koby Elbaz <kelbaz@habana.ai> Acked-by:Maciej Patelczyk <maciej.patelczyk@intel.com> Reviewed-by:
