It's a constant pattern in the driver to need to use 2 ranges of MMIOs
based on port, phy, pll, etc. When that happens, instead of using
_PICK_EVEN(), _PICK() needs to be used. Using _PICK() is discouraged
due to some reasons like:
1) It increases the code size since the array is declared
in each call site
2) Developers need to be careful not to incur an
out-of-bounds array access
3) Developers need to be careful that the indexes match the
table. For that it may be that the table needs to contain
holes, making (1) even worse.
Add a variant of _PICK_EVEN() that works with 2 ranges and selects which
one to use depending on the index value.
v2: Fix the address expansion in the example (Anusha)
v3: Also rename macro to _PICK_EVEN_2RANGES() in the documentation
and reword it to clarify what ranges are chosen based on the index

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.
