Hmm... resource_size_t ?

Well, regmap_read() takes "unsigned int reg".
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.18.6/source/include/linux/regmap.h#L1297
So in practice, a truncation will be done somewhere if the register base
exceeds unsigned int storage capacity. But I didn't feel that it's worth
handling that.
Would this address your feedback?
Yes and no. See my remarks below.

Btw, this might be not enough, one should check size and flags as well
before use. There was a discussion about this recently. Maybe we should
just move to a simple unsigned int in the config for now? Because handling
resources maybe considered as over engineering in this case.
The resource flags are never taken into consideration, but I can for
sure replace the resource in struct mdio_regmap_config with just an
unsigned int start and an end, but that doesn't get rid of the resource
usage. The dev_get_resource(dev->parent, NULL) call is how we learn of
where our register window is located in the "one big regmap" provided by
the parent (SJA1105). So we still need this check somewhere else if we
wanted to not fail silently in case of address bits truncation.

Ideally it should be resource_overlaps() check. But see above.
resource_overlaps_with_what? The only problem is that the resource can
exceed the 32 bit representation that regmap works with.
