I think you're right. We only need the start and end address from
lookup_resource and we already know that anyway. It means we can drop
patch 3 from the series.

Just to be sure, we'll confirm that the end address determined by our
driver matches the one from lookup_resource (coming from the system
address map in the system BIOS). If there were a mismatch, it would
probably be a bug (in the driver or the BIOS) that we'd need to fix anyway.

I don't really see the "mess" you're talking about. Including the above,
there are only 3 conditional statements in that function that are not
error-handling related:

        /* Page migration works on Vega10 or newer */
        if (kfddev->device_info->asic_family < CHIP_VEGA10)
                return -EINVAL;
...
        if (xgmi_connected_to_cpu)
                res = lookup_resource(&iomem_resource, adev->gmc.aper_base);
        else
                res = devm_request_free_mem_region(adev->dev, &iomem_resource, size);
...
        pgmap->type = xgmi_connected_to_cpu ?
                                MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC : MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE;
