mt8195_ostd only is a 2 dimensional array,
static const u8 mtk_smi_larb_mt8195_ostd[][SMI_LARB_PORT_NR_MAX];

If using this, it will cause build fail:

.../drivers/memory/mtk-smi.c:359:23: error: initialization from
incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  .ostd              = mtk_smi_larb_mt8195_ostd,
                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More background about this 2 dimensional array:
The platform have many larbs(up to MTK_LARB_NR_MAX), each a larb have
many ports(up to SMI_LARB_PORT_NR_MAX). In the
function(*_config_port_gen2_general), we will update the value for each
a port inside a larb, thus we need a pointer point to the line of that
larb.

If I miss something, please tell me. or how to manage this will be
better.

Thanks.
