[PATCH v2 2/2] regmap: Drop check whether a register is readable in regcache_read

[Lars-Peter Clausen]

One of the reasons for using a cache is to have a software shadow of a register
which is writable but not readable. This allows us to do a read-modify-write
operation on such a register.

Currently regcache checks whether a register is readable when performing a
cached read and returns an error if it is not. Drop this check, since it will
prevent us from using the cache for registers where read-back is not possible.

Changes since v1:
	* Drop the check instead of replaceing it with a check whether the register
	  is writable since this would break once we start adding read-back values
	  to the cache.
