I'd rather not do this, the only value is the copying of the word size
setup out of the regmap config is to allow us to use the ASoC cache code
but the idea is to push the cache down out of ASoC into the regmap code
so this function should just be a trivial indirection for the regmap
init which isn't useful.

This is a useful but unrelated change.
