Polling for SLEEPCOMPLETE is required for external controlled wake-up which to my knowledge has never been tested. If you have tested this with external controlled wakep-up, then I can consider this patch.

The  delay is coming from hardware. Till SLEEPCOUNT completes, the clock
to device is not provided. There is no need to poll for SLEEPCOMPLETE
and indeed 10.10.2.2 does not ask for this bit to be polled.
