This patch introduces caching support for regmap. The regcache API has evolved essentially out of ASoC soc-cache so most of the actual caching types (except LZO) have been tested in the past. The purpose of regcache is to optimize in time and space the handling of register caches. Time optimization is achieved by not having to go over a slow bus like I2C to read the value of a register, instead it is cached locally in memory and can be retrieved faster. Regarding space optimization, some of the cache types are better at packing the caches, for e.g. the rbtree and the LZO caches. By doing this the sacrifice in time still wins over doing I2C transactions.
