The CS4270 registers are numbered from 1 through 8, so codec_reg should look
like this:

 1:   c3
 2:    0
 3:   30
 4:    0
 5:    0
 6:    0
 7:    0
 8:    0

What I don't know is why the bad output, but it's probably because the register
cache code broke during the various changes applied to it since multi-component
was introduced.  Originally, the driver handled the register cache completely
internally.  Then, as register caching was added to ASoC itself, the driver was
modified to use it.  I believe that those modifications were not really tested.

And since I removed all that code for my patch, I'm not really inclined to go
back and see what specifically was wrong with it.
