regmap: add flat cache with sparse validity
The flat regcache will always assume the data in the cache is valid.
Since the cache is preferred over hardware access, this may shadow the
actual state of the device.

Add a new containing cache structure with the flat data table and a
bitmap indicating cache validity. REGCACHE_FLAT will still behave as
before, as the validity is ignored.

Define new cache type REGCACHE_FLAT_S: a flat cache with sparse
validity. The sparse validity is used to determine if a hardware access
should occur to initialize the cache on the fly, vs. at regmap init for
REGCACHE_FLAT. Contrary to REGCACHE_FLAT, this allows us to implement
regcache_ops.drop.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
