I guess you mean this:

        /* Skip touching the secure regions if present */
        for (i = 0; i < chip->nr_secure_regions; i++) {
                const struct nand_secure_region *region = &chip->secure_regions[i];

                if (offset + size < region->offset ||
                    offset >= region->offset + region->size)
                        continue;

                return -EIO;
        }

	return 0;

Hmm, I think you implicitly said this in your previous review as well and I
somehow lost it. Will incorporate. So we'll have something like this in
of_get_nand_secure_regions():

                for (i = 0, j = 0; i < chip->nr_secure_regions; i++, j += 2) {
                        of_property_read_u64_index(dn, "secure-regions", j,
                                                   &chip->secure_regions[i].offset);
                        of_property_read_u64_index(dn, "secure-regions", j + 1,
                                                   &chip->secure_regions[i].size);
                }
