iwlwifi: pcie: provide a way to stop configuration if it is forbidden
The firmware debug infrastructure allows the user to provide a firmware that will toggle a few registers to configure the debugging capabilities. On certain devices, certain operations are forbidden. Executing a forbidden operation will cause the hardware to die in a way that only driver unload / load will bring it back to life. Fortunately, there is a way to know in advance if those operations will be accepted by the device. This is where the new PRPH_BLOCKBIT operation plays its role. If the bit X from PRPH register Y is set, then we should prevent any further register configuration. When that happens, drop a line in the kernel log since this is really an error state: the user won't have his device configured as he expected. Add operations that will be used in the future: INDIRECT_ASSIGN, INDIRECT_SETBIT, and INDIRECT_CLEARBIT. Other debugging configurations (such as destination configuration for the monitor) will take place in any case.
