Probably, or there's a bug. What should happen is that if the register

Have you set num_reg_defaults? That's the obvious thing...

Did that. I will have a closer look. Thanks for the answer.

OK, the other thing that springs to mind to check is that the register
didn't somehow get marked as volatile.


There were some bugs in the past were non-readable register automatically got marked as volatile, this has been fixed though a few months ago. Try to make sure you use the latest upstream version of regmap.
