`_regmap_update_bits()` checks if the current register value differs from the new value, and only writes to the register if they differ. When testing hardware drivers, it might be desirable to always force a register write, for example when writing to a `regmap_field`. This enables and simplifies testing and verification of the hardware interaction. For example, when using a hardware mock/simulation model, one can then more easily verify that the driver makes the correct expected register writes during certain events. Add a bool variable `force_write_field` and a corresponding debugfs entry to enable this. Since this feature could interfere with driver operation, guard it with a macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
