Good catch!

It looks like a similar mistake exists in brw_wm_pass2.c's init_registers()
function ("if (brw->fragment_program->Base.InputsRead &
BITFIELD64_BIT(j))").


Incidentally, this gives me an idea for a structural change to the compiler
back-end that would prevent bugs like this from happening in the future.
Rather than passing brw around inside the compiler functions, let's make a
new data structure that contains just those parts of brw that make sense
for the compiler to access (things like brw->intel.gen,
brw->needs_unlit_centroid_workaround, brw->has_pln, etc.).  And pass around
that data structure inside the compiler functions instead of brw.  In
addition to preventing bugs like this one, it would prevent bugs where we
forget to include important state in the program key, since the compiler
functions wouldn't be able to just consult the state directly anymore.  I
think I might experiment with that as a back-burner project in my copious
free time :)
