regmap: warn users about uninitialized flat cache
The standard flat cache did not contain any validity info, so the cache was always considered to be entirely valid. Multiple mechanisms exist to initialize the cache on regmap init (defaults, raw defaults, HW init), but not all drivers are using one of these. As a result, their implementation might currently depend on the zero-initialized cache or contain other workarounds. When reading an uninitialized value from the flat cache, warn the user, but maintain the current behavior. This will allow developers to switch to a sparse (flat) cache independently.
