Sorry for not catch your point before.

Do you think the my patch that provides a register and cache index conversion
helper function behind for FLAT could be a way to try?

If yes, I can clean my patch to only include FLAT fix and send it out for
You to take a look.

Using this method, codec driver does not need to pad the default cache array.
During the cache read, the register will be automatically converted to cache
index to fetch value.
This can also fix the soc_codec_reg_show for codecs who are using packed
(FLAT) Cache while step = 2.
(Here I assume the packed cache only has a different step with FLAT cache.
FIXME if wrong)
