Subject: [PATCH V2 1/2] regulator: pwm: DT: Add ramp delay for exponential voltage transition

Some PWM regulator has the exponential transition in voltage change as
opposite to fixed slew-rate linear transition on other regulators.
For such PWM regulators, add the property to tell that voltage change
is exponential and having fixed delay for any level of change.

This patch is continuation of discussion on patch
regulator: pwm: Fix regulator ramp delay for continuous mode
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9216857/
where is it discussed to have separate property for PWM which has
exponential voltage transition.

Changes from V1:
- Pass the flag to tell that voltage ramp is exponential instead of
providing delay.

Sorry, but on further thought, I don't think we should mix different
units for the same property. Also, the fact that the ramp is exponential
is irrelevant. You just want an absolute delay time rather than a rate,
right? So instead, how about just "regulator-ramp-time-us". Roughly what
you had in v1, but not PWM specific.

Can we say "regulator-settling-time-us" and make it generic i.e. part of
the regulator core instead of PWM regulator specific?

So no change for "regulator-ramp-delay".
new property "regulator-settling-time-us" for fixed settling time in any
voltage level change.
