This needs to be done at the end in regcache_sync(), the same place where
dirty is set to false.

But map->cache_dirty means "any register is dirty," not "all registers
are dirty."  So it can only be cleared after a successful flush.

If one of the writes fails and regcache_sync() has to return
prematurely, we probably don't want no_sync_defaults to stay true
because some of the HW registers might not match map->reg_defaults
anymore.

Makes sense. But it should still be done in a central place rather than repeating it in every sync implementation. You can still put it at the end of regcache_sync(), just clear it regardless of whether it succeeded or not.
