It consists of just one address range. I'll edit the definition to make
it more clear.

#cache-cells and max-slices won't change for a given SOC. So you want me
to hard-code in the driver itself?

System cache memory provided by LLCC is divided into smaller chunks
called slices. Each slice has its associated size and ID. Clients can
query slice details, activate and deactivate them.
