The patch is ok. You may change this timer_after_eq and jiffies into
just number for the timeout (one pass will be 1ms) for simplicity (not
required).

The ad1848_lib have been using this broken method (schedule_timeout
with set_current_..). You can fix it as well or if the patch gets
applied, I can sync the ad1848_lib to use exactly the same waiting
loops. The ad1848 chip is slower then cs4231, so the granularity of
1ms hurts it less.

I want to have your patch applied as it is improvement (along with
Rene's patch) over the old code: it is simpler, less code and lower
(on average) delay on playback/record start.
