Maybe the actual REFPOWERUP value could be exposed as a control so
userspace has a way to set the policy? 

I'm not sure it make sense to have the delay in probe because it is not
enable the analog part of the codec. The delay should probable be after
the clocks have been set up because the datasheet says that it is mdac
and madc that is starting the analog circuitry.
