I don't believe anything to be inconsistent about
the volatile uses and was agreeing with you.

Some codecs functions for volatile access use
a switch/case,

static int wm8994_volatile(unsigned int reg)
{
	if (reg >= WM8994_REG_CACHE_SIZE)
		return 1;

	switch (reg) {
	case WM8994_SOFTWARE_RESET:
	case WM8994_CHIP_REVISION:
	case WM8994_DC_SERVO_1:
	case WM8994_DC_SERVO_READBACK:
	case WM8994_RATE_STATUS:
	case WM8994_LDO_1:
	case WM8994_LDO_2:
		return 1;
	default:
		return 0;
	}
}

others use the register variable from the struct

static int wm8962_volatile_register(unsigned int reg)
{
	if (wm8962_reg_access[reg].volatile_register)
		return 1;
	else
		return 0;
}

so I'm agreeing that it's useful to keep the
same access style in multiple codecs instead
of using separate styles in each one.

It'd be even better to use a similarly consistent
function naming scheme.

cheers, Joe
