To use flat regcache you also need to set the max_register.

I already have such a patch, see:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-January/099121.html

However, the current suspend/resume implementation (which uses the
regcache) is anyway flawed. I currently prepare a patchset to remove the
regmap cache entirely and use Thierry's new generic suspend/resume
functions.
