This patch introduces regmap_get_max_register() function which would be
used by the infrastructures like eeprom framework built on top of

In what way would it be used?
Its used in 2 purposes
1> It is used for sanity check purposes of the register ranges provided via DT/non-DT eeprom data cells.

2> To stop user reading when eeprom binary from /sys/class/eeprom/*/eeprom


+int regmap_get_max_register(struct regmap *map)
+{
+ return map->max_register ? : -EINVAL;
+}

Please write the logic out properly, don't abuse the ternery operator.
Am happy to change it to your preference in next version, but this GNU extensions widely used in the kernel

$ grep -rR "return.*? :" ./linux | wc -l
