regmap: fix a serious pointer casting bug

There is a serious bug in regmap_read() and regmap_write() functions
where an uint pointer is cast to (void *) which is then cast to (u8 *),
(u16 *), (u32 *) or (u64 *), depending on register width of the map.

For example given a regmap with 16-bit register width the code
	int val = 0x12340000;
	regmap_read(map, 0, &val);
only changes the lower 16 bits of val on little-endian machines.
The upper 16 bits will remain 0x1234.

Nobody noticed this probably because this bug can be triggered with
regmap_write() only on big-endian architectures (which are not used by
many people anymore), and on little endian this bug has consequences
only if register width is 8 or 16 bits and also the memory place to
which regmap_read() should store it's result has non-zero upper bits,
which it seems doesn't happen anywhere in U-Boot normally. CI managed to
trigger this bug in unit test of dm_test_devm_regmap_field when compiled
for sandbox_defconfig using LTO.

Fix this by utilizing an union { u8; u16; u32; u64; } and reading data
into this union / writing data from this union.
