I think you mean wa_add and wa_write_clr_set here (not mcr).

One thing I've been confused about while reading this code:

static void
wa_write_clr_set(struct i915_wa_list *wal, i915_reg_t reg, u32 clear, u32 set)
{
        wa_add(wal, reg, clear, set, clear, false);
}

The second to last parameter is read_mask aka wa->read.  We're
initializing it to the...bits to clear.  (I would think it should be
(clear | set) to pick up all modified bits.)

wa_verify seems to balk at ((cur ^ wa->set) & wa->read).  But...if
wa->read is just the clear mask, that wouldn't actually verify that
any bits were set at all.  Or am I misunderstanding something?

If not, we may be failing to verify the majority of our workarounds :(

In this particular example, since clear bits are 0, I don't think any
verification is happening at all.
