Some regulators have different settling times for voltage increases and
decreases. To avoid a time penalty on the faster transition extend the
settling time property to allow for different settings for upward and
downward transitions.

Sorry for not bringing this up during the review of the 'settling time'
patch, I just came across it when looking to revive a similar change I
sent out some time ago (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9332051/).

I think DT change and code change go in different patches.

Can we have regulator-settling-time-us also so if it is there then
up/down same.
If up/down different then separate properties can be used.
Also in driver, if up/dn are not provided and only
regulator-settling-time-us is provided then up/dn can take value from
this property.

Removing the existing binding would also break existing DTs using it
which we obviously don't want. I don't see any reason to even deprecate
it, like Laxman says it's nice and convenient for people with symmetric
performance.
