We had a whole load of bloaty infrastructure to deal with module parameters
in a way that's wholly unnecessary. Strip it all back to basics to make
adding new parameters less of a headache.

This value can come from two places: a module parameter or a debugfs file.
In both cases, validate it early to provide feedback to userspace at the
time the value is set instead of deferring until the value is used.

We have a module parameter to set the initial group mask before debugfs is
available for any specific device, but don't currently use that value when
initialising devices.
Use the module parameter value as the initial value for group_mask.

The "gpuid" module parameter is used to override the gpuid read from a
hardware register and is useful for testing the loading of different
firmware (including processing of the firmware header) without having
the hardware to hand.

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 1c21f240fbc1e47b
("drm/imagination: Warn or error on unsupported hardware")

After marking the gpu device node enabled in DTS for Renesas Salvator-X
with R-Car M3-W (as you are aware, it is still disabled upstream
because the system may crash when the firmware is not found), this
error message is triggered:
powervr fd000000.gpu: [drm] *ERROR* Unknown GPU! Set
'exp_hw_support' to bypass this check.
and the driver fails to probe. Using the exp_hw_support flag makes
the driver probe (when the firmware is available):
# echo 1 > /sys/module/powervr/parameters/exp_hw_support
# echo fd000000.gpu > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/powervr/bind
powervr fd000000.gpu: [drm] Running on unknown hardware; expect issues.
powervr fd000000.gpu: [drm] loaded firmware powervr/rogue_4.45.2.58_v1.fw
powervr fd000000.gpu: [drm] FW version v1.0 (build 6513336 OS)
[drm] Initialized powervr 1.0.0 for fd000000.gpu on minor 1
I am not sure if this counts as a regression. Given firmware is
available for this device, I'd expect it to fall (at least) in the the
PVR_GPU_EXPERIMENTAL case?
Thanks!
