I gave this a test on an S32G-VNP-RDB3 and didn't see any issues on the
dwmac-s32 side, but this appears to trigger a panic when reading the new
debugfs regmap/*/registers file for the syscon node:

    Kernel panic - not syncing: synchronous external abort: Fatal exception

Running this through decodecode gives:

x19's offset from the base address in /proc/vmallocinfo is 0x10c, which
points to a bad read at physical address 0x4007c10c; I also confirmed
that the preceding memory reads back without issues:

    # head -c 990 /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/dummy-syscon at 0x000000004007c000/registers | tail -1
    0104: 00000000
    # head -c 1005 /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/dummy-syscon at 0x000000004007c000/registers | tail -1
    0108: 00000000
    # head -c 1020 /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/dummy-syscon at 0x000000004007c000/registers | tail -1
    <panic>

Best,
Jared
