There's something else going on on your board.
I did some experiments on PandaBoards: in u-boot I set the GPIO127 (audpwron)
high and boot the kernel.
During the boot I see all sorts of errors, mcpdm fails to reset, i2c timeouts
towards twl6040.
For this the solution is to read the INTID register just after I request the
gpio - to clear any no longer valid interrupts before we request the IRQ. This
works fine on my boards.

The issue you have with your board is something totally different.
One thing might be that the i2c bus is set to 400KHz while the twl6040 by
default is set for normal mode (100KHz). On all of the boards I have access
this works fine but there might be some electrical issue on your board which
causes i2c to fail.

There's also another thing I just noticed: the regmap patch
regmap_register_patch() when it is applied will not update the regcache by
design. I do not like that too much. On the other hand it is handy to set the
ACCCTL register as early as possible.

So, I'm not sure about the delay and why it helps on your board.
