The 10us delay indeed is not enough. 25us gives way better
results. Combining it with...

...replacing spin_lock() by spin_lock_irqsave() gives me good
results.
Still not perfectly, but way better than it was. Using the Python
audio-script I've attached to this email I've loaded and unloaded
the driver 4033 times and it failed 6 times on me. Failing means
one control is missing or a control features the wrong settings.
If this happens the Python script tries to load the driver again
and in all of my tests succeeds right away.
