No can do. Memory regions shouldn't be shared between drivers like this.
It makes it impossible to ensure that they don't stump on each others'
toes.

One possibility to make this work is to export global functions from the
memory controller driver that this driver can call into. Perhaps if you
want you can be extra explicit by linking them in DT, like this:

	mc: memory-controller at 0,70019000 {
		compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-mc";
		reg = <0x0 0x70019000 0x0 0x00001000>;
		...
	};

	memory-controller at 0,7001b000 {
		compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-emc";
		reg = <0x0 0x7001b000 0x0 0x00001000>;
		memory-controller = <&mc>;
		...
	};

But I think it's safe enough to assume that there will only be a single
memory controller/EMC pair in the device.
