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.

- if (config->resource) + if (config->resource) {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.
Hmm... Bu why we can't embed the full struct resource in such a case? Because resource should have a flag check, otherwise it's a wrong check. Discussion I mentioned is this: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251207215359.28895-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com/ (local) Fixes due to that finding: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251208200437.14199-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com/ (local) https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251208145654.5294-1-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com/ (local)

+ if (config->resource->start > U32_MAX || + config->resource->end > U32_MAX) {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.
Obviously with the 4G address space :-) struct resource r4g = DEFINE_RESOURCE...(..., 0, SZ_4G...); if (resource_overlaps(&r4g, config->resource)) aiaiai! // using %pR to print the content
