I helped test this together with Marcus and when I tested with this
register marked
as volatile audio started to stutter, still unclear why audio starts to
stutter.

Without this cache bypass the flush TX/RX bits gets cached and flush
happens unexpectedly
resulting in multi channel audio getting mapped to wrong speaker.
Other ASoC codecs and fsl_spdif.c seems to use similar cache bypass for
reset/flush.

This change was inspired by c66234cfedfc "ASoC: rockchip: i2s: fix
playback after runtime resume" [1]
On resume a cached sample would be written to FIFO_TX_REG unless it is
marked volatile,
the rockchip commit indicated that read is needed for volatile regs.
