I had some problems applying your patch, the tabs were replaced with
spaces. You can either fix the settings of your email client, or you
can also use git-send-email when sending individual patch updates, like
this:
git send-email HEAD^ --subject-prefix="PATCH v4.1 02/10" --to <to>
--in-reply-to <message-id>
where message-id can be found in the headers of the message you want to
reply to (header Message-ID). This allows the message to be correctly
threaded. It means the patch will be in a separate email than your
response to the reviewer's comments, but I think that's fine.
Anyway, this particular one wasn't too difficult to fix up by hand. It
LGTM with one nit fixed:

The offset value is always 0 initially, so you can remove it and
initialize it to 0.
I think that this patch can also be pushed on its own, it's a good
improvement regardless of the rest of the series.

Reason I added offset here was that in "Commonise tdesc_reg” this code will get merged into init_target_desc().
At that point I’ll be creating a reg and setting and offset at the same time.
This was just so that I didn’t need to touch regdef.h again.
I can still remove offset from this patch if you want - given that I’m not using it yet?

This it not terribly important, but I think it's better to only add it
once you really need it. The proposed patches could change, and the
parameter could end up unused (not saying that's what will happen here,
it's just an example).

Didn’t realise that std:vector worked like this. Agreed with the change.

I need to remember to think in C++ and not C. This way is much nicer/simpler.

Yes, in the old code, if you give it a smaller regnum, vector wouldn’t have been resized,
and then the assert would have fired.
I’ll move the assert to the top of the function to ensure it doesn’t resize smaller.
New version updated with all of the above.
Checked this on X86 with make check on target board gdbserver.
(Patch 3/10, and possibly others, will need updating too, but should be obvious).
Thanks for the review.
