The rcar sound driver uses regmap to access registers in various parts
of the block and uses regmap to manage mappings. The regmap is created
without fast_io set, which means it locks with a mutex rather than a
lighter-spinlock.

The use of the mutex lock causes issues when the IRQ handler is entered
as the code needs to read/write register values and thus with lock
debugging enabled the system outputs a number of warnings such as:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at rnel/locking/mutex.c:616

The rcar registers are all connected via APB bus and thus not that slow
to access. The fix is to set the fast_io in the code so that regmap creates
the regmap structures using the faster spinlock functions.
