[PATCH 2/3] regmap: Add support for writing to regmap `registers'

[Dimitris Papastamos]

To enable writing to the regmap `registers' file, users will
need to modify the source directly and #define REGMAP_ALLOW_WRITE_DEBUGFS.
The reason for this is that it is dangerous to expose this
functionality in general where clients could potentially be PMICs.
