Will send an extra patch to cover it.

T/RCSR register stands for T/Rx Control (Status -- I guess) Register.
It actually contains control bits, IRQ mask bits and IRQ status bits.
Thus we can't regard it as a entire status register. That's why I try
to update it partially for status bits only at this point.

But if it's just for saving this extra read instance, I may save those
non-status bits from upper regmap_read() and then merge them into this
regmap_write() over here.

For all status flags bits, actually five for each, three of them are
write-1-clear and the other two are self-clearance by SAI self -- so
none of them are clear-on-read type.

Will add this.

Thank you,
