Just had a quick check and the register caching needs addressed.

I agree with your comments, I don't think we really want to cache all
16K of codec registers here as we will probably only ever use a handful
of them. I think a smaller lookup table containing only the registers
that we care about will do.

Fwiw, a generic ASoC lookup table would be best as this could be used by
other codecs with large register maps too. The table should be ordered
(for quick lookup) and also contain a readable/writeable/volatile flag
for each register.

Thanks
