sizeof(codec->reg_cache) is just the size of the pointer. Elsewhere in the
file, codec->reg_cache is used with sizeof(wm8900_reg_defaults), so the
code is changed to do the same here.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

expression *x;
expression f;
type T;

*f(...,(T)x,...)

I do not think that this was the intention of the original author,
I guess the idea behind sizeof(*codec->reg_cache) was to protect
the area behind it (in case wm8900_reg_defaults are badly defined).

sizeof(codec->reg_cache) is the size of a pointer (void *).
sizeof(*codec->reg_cache) is then the size of void. wm8900_reg_defaults
is a static constant array defined a few lines before this code:
static const u16 wm8900_reg_defaults[WM8900_MAXREG] = { ... };
Later in the same file there is:
cache = kmemdup(codec->reg_cache, sizeof(wm8900_reg_defaults),
GFP_KERNEL);
and codec->reg_cache is initialized as follows:
codec->reg_cache = &wm8900->reg_cache[0];
The reg_cache field in wm8900 is declared as u16 reg_cache[WM8900_MAXREG];
