Note that Dimitrios just posted a driver for this to the list earlier
today, which is also available from opensource.wolfsonmicro.com.  It
would be best to work with this driver.

The bigger question would be why you want to refresh the register cache
- normally this should not be required.  If you do need to do this it
would be better to trigger the refresh off whatever event causes the
register status in the CODEC to get out of sync.  If there are registers
which report status which does change dynamically normally they
shouldn't be cached at all but should instead be treated as volatile and
read back from the CODEC at all times.
