IIRC the flush cache bit is self-clearing. So you likely want to mark
this register as volatile. If it is marked as volatile, then all access
to that register bypasses the cache, so the regcache_cache_bypass calls
are unneeded.

However, looking at the code, the write would seem to be ignored if the
regmap is in the cache_only state. We only set this when the bus clock
is disabled. Under such a condition, bypassing the cache and forcing a
write would be unwise, as the system either drops the write, or stalls
altogether.

I don't understand why this is relevant. Do you need to read back from the TX
FIFO?

If so, just drop the call-back altogether. If no callback is provided and no
rd_table is provided either, it defaults to all registers under max_register
(if max_register < 0) are readable.

However this seems like it deserves to be a separate patch (where you explain
in the commit log why it's needed).
