Hi, all:

  I have reproduced this case.
If register access over the bound, it'll cause the NULL pointer.
For the MT6370, the register bank layout is 0 -> TCPC, 1 -> PMU.

>From my experiment, I try to access 0x200, it means bank 2 -> empty

I check the APIs regmap_read/write and regmap_raw_read/write.

regmap_read/write -> blocked by boundary check in regmap_readable/writeable
regmap_raw_read/write -> no additional boundary check.

I guess the result for regmap_bulk_read/write is the same as
regmap_raw_read/write.

For this case, it seems mt6360 regmap will also cause this issue.

I'll submit one to fix this.

Hi, Dan:
  Your patch really fix this.
Just one thing need to be confirmed, but it depends on what Lee prefers.

In mt6370.h, we already defiend the enum for the bank boundary
"MT6370_MAX_I2C".

Instead of ARRAY_SIZE(info->i2c), you can also use the enum define.

Anyway, many thanks to report this bug.

ChiYuan Huang.
