Subject: [PATCH 07/21] ASoC: io: Prevent use of regmap if request fails

If a sound codec fails to request a regmap, the 'using_regmap' is
set as true regardless, despite there being no regmap to use. As a
repercussion, when a latter read function checks to see if we are
using regmaps, it assumes we are and attempts to. Only the kernel
oopes, because regmap_* tries to extract information from a NULL
pointer.
