Thanks for giving more details.
1. In write_range function, I added basic checks to make sure the address range base or size
to set are non-zero and return error to the user if so.  But unable to check those address parameters
to set are in the supported address range of a scrub device because ACPI RAS2 Table 5.87: Parameter Block
Structure for PATROL_SCRUB does have fields to publish supported address range for a patrol
scrubber. The field  "Actual Address Range (OUTPUT)" seems not suitable for this purpose because
" The platform calculates the nearest patrol scrub boundary address from where it can start. This range
should be a superset of the Requested Address Range." as described  in the ACPI spec?

In ras2_hw_scrub_write_rate() , we already have check for scrub rate to set is within
supported min and max scrub rates, set by the firmware in the above table in response to
GET_PATROL_PARAMETERS.

2. You mentioned that "If our platform firmware detects an invalid address, it raises an error."
   In this case my understanding is that the scrubbing should not have started and thus the kernel will
   get the scrub NOT running status and the user will be able to correct the address?

Ok. I added clearing the RAS2_PATROL_SCRUB_EN_BACKGROUND bit in the input
parameters in ras2_hw_scrub_set_enabled_od () as you requested so that it will work
in your platforms.
