Using flat regmap cache instead of RB-tree to avoid the following
lockdep warning on driver load:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:2755 lockdep_trace_alloc+0x15c/0x160()
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(irqs_disabled_flags(flags))

The RB-tree regmap cache needs to allocate new space on first
writes. However, allocations in an atomic context (e.g. when a
spinlock is held) are not allowed. The function regmap_write
calls map->lock, which acquires a spinlock in the fast_io case.
Since the FSL DCU driver uses MMIO, the regmap bus of type
regmap_mmio is being used which has fast_io set to true.

Use flat regmap cache and specify max register to be large
enouth to cover all registers available in LS1021a and Vybrids
register space.

While regmap cache is used for suspend/resume only (which is
broken in its current state) Mark noted that using the RB regmap
cache can also cause issues during initialization of the driver.
This patch migrates to flat regmap cache (which we can also use
to fix the issue in stable kernels), and yet another patchset
moves to the atomic suspend/resume helpers (which will not go
into stable...)

Dave, I saw that you just sent out the pull for rc2, will send
a pull request for rc3 early next week...

While talking suspend/resume, I highly recommend
drm_atomic_helper_suspend and drm_atomic_helper_resume. In my experience
dumb safe/restore of registers for restoring modeset state leads to tears.

Since you commented to the patchset implementing exactly that I assume
you have seen it.

I still would like to have this patch applied to fix the regmap cache
warning also for older kernels.

Yup, that was pretty awesome coincidence ;-)

Sure, this was just a quick comment on your remark that there's still
trouble left with suspend/resume.
