To support different versions of the ES9356, the code reads the chip version
and performs different initialization configurations based on the version number.
To improve button performance, we've adjusted the timing and settings related to the headphones.

Change the time it takes to create a workqueue from 280 ms to 50 ms to
ensure faster response to button presses.
Modify the settings related to buttons after plugging in the headset
to ensure more accurate button type recognition.

Author: Zhang Yi <zhangyi@everest-semi.com>

ASoC: es9356-sdca: Modify the Initialization Configuration

This patch updates es9356_register_init() to read the chip version from
ES9356_VERSION and apply version-specific register initialization settings,
propagating read errors to es9356_sdca_io_init().

[Severity: Medium]
In sound/soc/codecs/es9356.c, es9356_sdca_io_init() disables cache-only mode
before calling es9356_register_init():

sound/soc/codecs/es9356.c:es9356_sdca_io_init() {
	...
	regcache_cache_only(es9356->regmap, false);

	if (es9356->first_hw_init) {
		regcache_cache_bypass(es9356->regmap, true);
	} else {
		/* update count of parent 'active' children */
		pm_runtime_set_active(&slave->dev);

		ret = es9356_register_init(es9356);
		if (ret < 0)
			return -EINVAL;
	}
	...
}

If regmap_read(es9356->regmap, ES9356_VERSION, &version) fails in
es9356_register_init() during es9356_sdw_update_status() ->
es9356_sdca_io_init(), this early return leaves es9356->regmap with
cache-only mode disabled while es9356->hw_init and es9356->first_hw_init
remain false, allowing subsequent mixer control accesses to issue SoundWire
bus transactions to an uninitialized device.

Should this error path restore regcache_cache_only(es9356->regmap, true) and
return ret instead of masking the error code with -EINVAL?
