Yes, usually when the register cache is not used, the number of the
defaults should be zero, but for some drivers like drv2267.c/led_lp8860.c
will add the defaults register values though the cache type is
REGCACHE_NONE for some reasons.

This patch may be not the best, but will be a bit meaningful for some
drivers like drv2267.c/led_lp8860.c for now.
