It did mention the change:

The CHIP_LINREG_CTRL value needs to be set based on the presence
or absence of external VDDD, so writing a default (power-on) value
doesn't help much, and this certainly shouldn't happen after
the proper value is written.

You're right about the commit message. It should be re-worded.

I understand that, but the crux of the problem is that these
registers need to be set early, their order is critical, and
some of them need to be written based on the internal/external
VDDD decision.

In a soft reboot on a machine that doesn't actually control
the power to the SGTL5000 (which is all supported boards at
the moment), a write to the ANA_POWER register with stale
values in either LINREG_CTRL or CLK_CTRL (from patch 5)
will fail and cause the chip to lock up.

Discussion of this is the primary reason I sent this patch
set as an RFC: to highlight the issues.

Some of this (and some of your expressed concerns) could be
alleviated by moving the call to sgtl5000_fill_defaults()
before the newly-added code to initialize ANA_POWER based on
whether an external VDDD is supplied or the internal LDO is
used, but then the dependencies would be hidden in the order
of registers in the table.

This is just more explicit.

I hope that clarifies things.

Eric
