/**
 * DOC: GuC MMIO based communication
 *
 * The MMIO based communication between Host and GuC relies on special
 * hardware registers which format could be defined by the software
 * (so called scratch registers).
 *
 * Each MMIO based message, both Host to GuC (H2G) and GuC to Host (G2H)
 * messages, which maximum length depends on number of available scratch
 * registers, is directly written into those scratch registers.
 *
 * For Gen9+, there are 16 software scratch registers 0xC180-0xC1B8,
 * but no H2G command takes more than 4 parameters and the GuC firmware
 * itself uses an 4-element array to store the H2G message.
 *
 * For Gen11+, there are additional 4 registers 0x190240-0x19024C, which
 * are, regardless on lower count, preferred over legacy ones.
 *
 * The MMIO based communication is mainly used during driver initialization
 * phase to setup the `CTB based communication`_ that will be used afterwards.
