Just use rgn[i].

This check can be in the 'for' conditions check.

There's not really any point in doing all this in 2 steps. I'm 
assuming this needs to be handled after scanning the memory nodes, so 
can you refactor this moving early_init_dt_check_for_usable_mem_range 
out of early_init_dt_scan_chosen() and call it here. You'll have to get 
the offset for /chosen twice or save the offset.
