I have my regmap_range_cfg as below

#define AIC325X_DSP_WINDOW_LEN  128
#define AIC325X_ADSP_CM_A_BASE  (9 * AIC325X_DSP_WINDOW_LEN)
static const struct regmap_range_cfg aic325x_ranges[] = {
        { .name = "CONF", .range_min = 128,
          .range_max = 383,
          .selector_reg = 0x0,
          .selector_mask = 0xff,
          .selector_shift = 0,
          .window_start = 0, .window_len =128,
        },
        { .name = "MINIDSP_A_CM_A", .range_min = AIC325X_ADSP_CM_A_BASE,
          .range_max = AIC325X_ADSP_CM_A_BASE + 1152,
          .selector_reg = 0x0,
          .selector_mask = 0xff,
          .selector_shift = 0,
          .window_start = 0, .window_len =128,
        },
};

In _regmap_select_page function that calculates win_page 

win_page = (*reg - range->range_min) / range->window_len;

So when my *reg is within MINIDSP_A_CM_A (that corresponds to Page 8), the above win_page calculation would be 0 instead of 8 for *reg value of AIC325X_ADSP_CM_A_BASE.
