I don't recall any issues with this. In any case, we only read the registers
for debugging purposes, so it's not a big deal.

Maybe it would be better to expand the comment a little bit,
using your commit log:

""
The "proper" way to
handle this would be to poll STK1160_AC97CTL_0 after
every read or write command until the command bit
has been cleared, but this may not be worth the hassle.
""

This way, if the sleep proves problematic in the future,
the "proper way" is already documented.
