Most devices have one regmap per device which can be retrieved with
dev_get_regmap(), it's the attempt to use that which I suspect is
broken.  Like I said snd_soc_codec_init_regmap() ought to fix things if
that's the issue.

OK. Adding Peter to loop as it's his driver after all. Not sure
how well mixing regmap register access to the same module with
cached twl4030_read() would work :)

Yes, that local cache is not a super good idea any more and hopefully
redundant.

Maybe there should also be some big warning happening if
snd_soc_codec_init_regmap() is now needed and no regmap is
found?

Some devices just plain don't have registers at all (perhaps GPIOs or
just stub drivers providing capability information).  However we should
be screaming loudly about the fact that the I/O we tried to do fails,
that clearly shouldn't be being ignored.
