I'm wondering if the above is going to cause regressions with some IPA
versions suddenly not probed anymore by the module?

Additionally there are a few places checking for the now unsupported
version[s], I guess that check could/should be removed? e.g.
ipa_reg_irq_suspend_en_ee_n_offset(),
ipa_reg_irq_suspend_info_ee_n_offset()
...

Thanks,

Paolo
