What about doing instead:

#define GEM_ISR(q)				((q) == 0 ? MACB_ISR : 0x400 + (q) << 2)

And ditto for all other registers, which will save a lot of boring repeated code.

If you do that, then you can avoid the following fields in the
macb_queue structure:

+	unsigned int		ISR;
+	unsigned int		IER;
+	unsigned int		IDR;
+	unsigned int		IMR;
+	unsigned int		TBQP;

And the not very pleasant calculation of those offsets:

+	bp->queues[0].bp = bp;
+	bp->queues[0].ISR  = MACB_ISR;
+	bp->queues[0].IER  = MACB_IER;
+	bp->queues[0].IDR  = MACB_IDR;
+	bp->queues[0].IMR  = MACB_IMR;
+	bp->queues[0].TBQP = MACB_TBQP;
+	for (q = 1, queue = &bp->queues[1]; q < MACB_MAX_QUEUES; ++q) {
+		if (!(queue_mask & (1 << q)))
+			continue;
+
+		queue->bp = bp;
+		queue->ISR  = (q-1) * sizeof(u32) + GEM_ISR1;
+		queue->IER  = (q-1) * sizeof(u32) + GEM_IER1;
+		queue->IDR  = (q-1) * sizeof(u32) + GEM_IDR1;
+		queue->IMR  = (q-1) * sizeof(u32) + GEM_IMR1;
+		queue->TBQP = (q-1) * sizeof(u32) + GEM_TBQP1;
+		queue++;
+	}

You replace the ISR, IER, IDR, IMR and TBQP by an "id" field in
macb_queue, which contains the queue number, and then change your:

+#define queue_readl(queue, reg)				\
+	__raw_readl((queue)->bp->regs + queue->reg)
+#define queue_writel(queue, reg, value)			\
+	__raw_writel((value), (queue)->bp->regs + queue->reg)

to

+#define queue_readl(queue, reg)				\
+	__raw_readl((queue)->bp->regs + reg((queue)->id))
+#define queue_writel(queue, reg, value)			\
+	__raw_writel((value), (queue)->bp->regs + reg((queue)->id)

Best regards,

Thomas
