Its dumping the range which is specified in the provider regmap. If the 
requirement is to dump only particular range, this has to be made 
explicit while creating regmap, which is to specify the base address to 
start from "First data register" and max_register to be "Last data 
register "- "First data register"

Setup the base and regmap_config correctly in the provider driver before 
calling regmap_init_mmio().

Let me know if you need more details.
