[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: Remove bogus check for register validity in debugfs write

[Mark Brown]

Since not all registers need to be cached and the cache is entirely
optional anyway we shouldn't be checking that a register is in the
cached range. If the register is invalid then the actual I/O code
can determine that and report an error.

Similarly, the step size can and should be enforced by the lower level
code if it's important.
