sizeof(codec->reg_cache) is just the size of the pointer. Elsewhere in the file, codec->reg_cache is used with sizeof(wm8900_reg_defaults), so the code is changed to do the same here.

I do not think that this was the intention of the original author, I guess the idea behind sizeof(*codec->reg_cache) was to protect the area behind it (in case wm8900_reg_defaults are badly defined).
