regmap: verify if register is writeable before writing operations
regmap provides a couple of ways to validate the register range used. a) maxim allowed register, b) writable/readable register tables, c) callback function that can be provided by the driver to validate a register. regmap framework should verify if registers are writeable before every write operation. However this doesn't seems to happen in every situation. The method `_regmap_raw_write_impl` is only using the `writeable_reg` callback to verify if register is writeable, ignoring the other two. This can lead to undefined behaviour since this allows to write to registers that could be declared un-writeable by using any other option. Change `_regmap_raw_write_impl` to use the `regmap_writeable` method to verify if registers are writable before the write operation.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
