Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/15] Introduce HabanaLabs network drivers

From: Omer Shpigelman <oshpigelman@...ana.ai>

I don't think adding generated register defs etc. is a good idea.
You just bloat the kernel code while most of the values are not used.

When I work with HW and need to use some register defs, I add them
manually one-by-one only when needed. I know it takes more time than to
just add a whole generated reg file, but we don't need tens of thousand
unused locs in the kernel.
Please add only the actually used definitions. This applies to every
file from the series.

So most of these new lines are generated register definitions. The
series can be several times smaller if you follow my advice.
