That's up for interpretation actually:
- The V3 datasheet mentions that System Control is 0x01C00000 --- 0x01C00FFF;
- In practice, sunxi_sram.c uses a regmap with max_reg set to 0x30 for the
  V3s/H3 so this gives us some room.

Looking at other SoCs with the same setup (take sun8i-r40 for instance),
system-control is limited to 0x30 and the NMI controller follows it.
In the case of R40, the SRAM controlled is also said to be 4K-long in the
Allwinner docs.

So all in all, this leads me to believe that the system-controller instance
stops well before 0x1c000d0 on the V3s as well. Otherwise, we should also
make the R40 consistent.

Cheers,

Paul
