Upstream LiteX now defaults to using 32-bit CSR subregisters
(see https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/commit/a2b71fde).
This patch expands on commit 22447a99c9 ("drivers/soc/litex: add
LiteX SoC Controller driver"), adding support for handling both 8-
and 32-bit LiteX CSR (MMIO) subregisters, as determined by the
LITEX_SUBREG_SIZE Kconfig option.
NOTE that while LITEX_SUBREG_SIZE could theoretically be a device
tree property, defining it as a compile-time constant allows for
much better optimization of the resulting code. This is further
supported by the low expected usefulness of deploying the same
kernel across LiteX SoCs built with different CSR-Bus data widths.
Finally, the litex_[read|write][8|16|32|64]() accessors are
redefined in terms of litex_[get|set]_reg(), which, after compiler
optimization, will result in code as efficient as hardcoded shifts,
but with the added benefit of automatically matching the appropriate
LITEX_SUBREG_SIZE.
NOTE that litex_[get|set]_reg() nominally operate on 64-bit data,
but that will also be optimized by the compiler in situations where
narrower data is used from a call site.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
