I guess SDM845 not only has 4 banks but each bank is bigger?  At first
I thought "yeah, 4 banks and 4 * 0x5 = 0x20" except that's not true in
hex.  ;-)


Hehe, no I didn't mean 0x5 * 4 = 0x20 because I mentioned 320KB and 2MB specifically for the same reason in case people think that ;) I just meant that we are correcting the copied size from SDM845, but I agree I need to make it clear in the commit msg
which warrants a V2.

Without having any documentation ,this seems sane to me.  I guess it
doesn't do a whole lot because the driver just reads one register from
this whole space (at 0x0003000c bytes off).  So it's just a cleanup,
or is it needed to actually fix something?


No, it is not required to fix any functional problems but is correcting the wrong size which I think qualifies for a fixes tag? I don't have a strong opinion
though, so I can remove the tag if you feel strongly about it.

...the fact that there's a status register in the middle of this seems
strange, though.  Your commit message makes it sound as if this range
is describing the size of the cache itself and then I would think that
this was the address range where you could read from the cache memory
directly, but that doesn't seem to mesh in my mind with there being a
status register.  Hrm.  Am I just confused as usual?


It's not describing the cache size, it is the LLCC(LLC Controller) register space. But I believe that the confusion is because of my commit msg, so I will post a v2 clearing this with something like below (I have removed the confusing 4 banks info
of SDM845).

"
There is one LLCC logical bank(LLCC0) on SC7180 SoC and the size of the LLCC0 base is 0x50000(320KB) not 2MB, so correct the size and fix copy paste mistake
carried over from SDM845.
"

Thanks,
