That precise size is also in the broxton driver, i think. Say we did
have

#define BXT_NORTH_COUNT 77
#define PAD_BASE 0x500

in some central place

then we could use

size = 0x500 + 8 * BXT_NORTH_COUNT + 4 (no clue what that is)

the same pattern would work for all those sizes and their
BXT_COMMUNITY(0, XX) counterparts

So the real size seems to be a function of the magic numbers in
BXT_COMMUNITY(0, XX)

Or simply take one page as you say.

Got it, still the fact that there are 4 regions/communities is also part
of the broxton driver so there is duplication.
