regmap: Add the rbtree cache support
This patch adds support for the rbtree cache compression type.
Each rbnode manages a variable length block of registers. There can be no
two nodes with overlapping blocks. Each block has a base register and a
currently top register, all the other registers, if any, lie in between these
two and in ascending order.
The reasoning behind the construction of this rbtree is simple. In the
snd_soc_rbtree_cache_init() function, we iterate over the register defaults
provided by the regcache core. For each register value that is non-zero we
insert it in the rbtree. In order to determine in which rbnode we need
to add the register, we first look if there is another register already
added that is adjacent to the one we are about to add. If that is the case
we append it in that rbnode block, otherwise we create a new rbnode
with a single register in its block and add it to the tree.
There are various optimizations across the implementation to speed up lookups
by caching the most recently used rbnode.
