It overrides the .max_register from a static regmap_config instance. 
You can do the same, calculating the .max_register from the memory 
resource you get from DT. I'm sure you guys can figure it out.

And that's how it should be done. Lots of small atomic patches are much 
easier to review than a few big patches.

Don't need to wait for me - just create a standard platform_driver 
module for the HDMI code. Since it won't touch the ingenic-drm-drv.c 
file, if I later patch the IPU code to be its own module, it won't 
conflict.
