ASoC: Allow CODECs to ask soc-cache to suppress physical writes

Currently the soc-cache code will always write to the device, meaning
that we need the device to be powered and active at pretty much all
times the system is active.  Allowing cache only writes lays some
groundwork for future enhancements to allow devices to be put into a
full off state when the audio subsystem is idle.
