GENMASK(m, n), across the other defines too, please
Then, you can drop the _OFFSET defines as FIELD_PREP/GET/MODIFY
accessors will derive them from the mask
Please also use lowercase hex, file-wide

nit: maybe setting units and scale explicitly in each entry could
be better for maintainability, but potayto/potahto

I believe this is only possible if ARRAY_SIZE(sp->domains) == 0,
but it's not obivous that it's to protect it from that specifically

Could you try adding a devm_ variant of these register functions?

The compatible must contain a SoC name
