There may be spi devices that do not require a

Currently the code sets the read mask based on
a non-zero value passed in from the driver or if that
value is 0 sets the read mask to 0x80.

It only sets it to the bus default if both read_flag_mask and write_flag_mask 
are 0. The assumption is that both of them being zero is a invalid 
configuration and either of them (or both) have to be non-zero for proper 
operation, since otherwise the device can't tell the difference between a read 
and a write.

Do you have a device where both the read and the write mask is 0?

Yes I do have a device that the read/write mask are both 0.

The device, which is already in production, has a specific control register 
that sets either the reading or writing of the rest of the registers.

Here is the data sheet

See page 61 control0.

Driver is written for this part just want to get this lead patch in or maybe an 
alternate solution.

Looking at this the generic SPI regmap implementation might not necessarily be the best thing to use here and you are probably better of implementing either your own regmap bus or reg_read/reg_write callbacks that automatically set/clear the SPI_READ bit in the control register depending on the operation.
