with sdm845 icc rework "https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11293399/"
osm l3 icc provider needs to know the total number of rsc icc nodes,
i.e I can define the total number of rsc nodes and continue using the
same design as v3 since on sdm845/sc7180 gpu is not cache coherent.

or have the osm l3 table population logic and osm icc_set as helpers
and have it called from the sdm845/sc7180 icc driver so that we would
be able to link osm_l3 with rsc nodes on future qcom SoCs.
