Thanks for your comment.

The old way (using max_pfn) do determine this is risky because the
max_pfn may lower than (GB if reserved memory regions occupy memory
higher than 4GB.

So, the better way to do this is by reading register from H/W.

I can do syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible() to search for it. However,
the compatibles are different in mt2712e.dtsi and mt8173.dtsi. so I have
to search "mediatek,mt2712-infracfg" and "mediatek,mt8173-infracfg"
respectively.

Using mediatek,infracfg phandle can make the code easier to read.
Is it possible to reconsider the phandle approach, please?


arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt2712e.dtsi:253:
infracfg: syscon@10001000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt2712-infracfg", "syscon";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt8173.dtsi:363:                   
infracfg: power-controller@10001000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-infracfg", "syscon";
