When I decipher gen_lowpart correctly then it doesn't generate the
subreg of the mem in the first place so doing it like that in gen_highpart
would _not_ invoke simplify_gen_subreg on a MEM_P but instead
do what you now do directly?
I also wonder why gen_lowpart_general uses byte_lowpart_offset
while you use subreg_highpart_offset where subreg_lowpart_offset
is also available ... huh - and there's also
subreg_size_{lowpart,highpart}_offset.
So it looks like your case wouldn't handle the paradoxical highpart
(which better shouldn't be accessed?).
So like
diff --git a/gcc/emit-rtl.c b/gcc/emit-rtl.c

looks a bit odd to me.
I'll note it leaves gen_highpart_mode "unfixed", some refactoring should
instead commonize the worker for both interfaces, making gen_highpart
invoke gen_highpart_mode or so.
