Please mark this as a legacy helper, ideally to be removed after the
complete conversion to this API. During that phase we should try to
identify those devices which still depend on offset=0 and maybe directly
fix them.

Okay.

Will this be such a common use case that requesting the user to split up
the region and then use set_coalescing will generate too much boiler
plate code?

Look at e1000, coalescing ranges have byte granularity.

And what about clearing coalescing for sub-ranges?

Clear them all and rebuild.

Maybe skip
add_coalescing for the first run and see how far we get.

We get as far as e.
