Can we follow the example of:
5b345e39d3ebc213 ("arm64/sysreg: Standardise naming for CTR_EL0 fields")
... and instead have:
| #define CTR_CWG(ctr) SYS_FIELD_GET(CTR_EL0, CWG, ctr)
... and:
| static inline u32 cache_type_cwg(void)
| {
| return CTR_CWG(read_cpuid_cachetype());
| }
... since AFAICT we had SYS_FIELD_GET() available in commit
9a3634d02301 ("arm64/sysreg: Convert CTR_EL0 to automatic generation")
... and then it's all consistent and there's no confusion about how to apply
MASK and SHIFT.
With that:
