Could you suggest something then? This mainly changes the power
codec power consumption. I guess people will want to trade latency
for less consumption.

Well, that was not my concern. I didn't realize Miquel actually used the
Force power-up values and though the actual power up happened after
configuring the clocks (as is the case for the dafule values). In this
case, the delay is at the proper location.
