IMO, such a data should be uniquely handled -- either init-only or
not.  Through a quick look, snd_soc_cache_sync() may still refer to
reg_cache_default.  So, it's still risky to blindly set
__devinitconst.  (Yeah, I know it's not used right now, though ;)

That is, the data that shall be deleted shouldn't be kept in a
structure that might be referred later from other places.
