The regmap is sadly undocumented I have had it on my list for a long
time to document this gem, but I never find the time.

You have to mark registers that cannot be cached as volatile, then
enable caching in the regmap with e.g. .cache_type = REGCACHE_FLAT
in the regmap config, then it pretty much caches itself.
<linux/regmap.h> has some cache maintenance functions if you
run into corner cases.

(Mark will correct me if I say something wrong...)
