Subject: [PATCH 0/0] regmap: drop cache if the bus transfer error

regmap_write
    ->_regmap_raw_write
    -->regcache_write first and than use map->bus->write to wirte i2c or spi
    But if the i2c or spi transfer failed, But the cache is updated, So if I use
    regmap_read will get the cache data which is not the real register value.

I think the regmap should handle that gracefully,
and may be my modify is not the best way.
But as I described is how to slove that problem.
