Subject: [152/289] ASoC: Remove volatility from WM8900 POWER1 register

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mark Brown <broonie@...nsource.wolfsonmicro.com>

commit 6d212d8e86fb4221bd91b9266b7567ee2b83bd01 upstream.

Not all bits can be read back from POWER1 so avoid corruption when using
a read/modify/write cycle by marking it non-volatile - the only thing we
read back from it is the chip revision which has diagnostic value only.
We can re-add later but that's a more invasive change than is suitable
for a bugfix.
