- Just calling mwifiex_write_reg() once and then blocking until the card
wakes up using my delay-loop doesn't fix the issue, it's actually
writing multiple times that fixes the issue

These observations sound a lot like writes (and even reads) are actually
being dropped, don't they?
It sounds like you're writing into a not ready (fully powered on) device.

To check this, try to put a busy loop for reading and check the value
till it gets 0.

Something like

  unsigned int count = 1000;

  do {
    if (mwifiex_read_reg(...) == 0)
      break;
  } while (--count);
