Unless I'm mistaken, all of this is best handled via regulator
constraints in the device tree. See the file:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator.yaml

Specifically, any delays related to actually ramping up / down the
regulator can be specified in the device tree. Nominally, you could
argue that the 1 ms delay actually _does_ belong in the driver, but
IMO the 1 ms number there is really just there because someone thought
it was weird to specify a delay of 0 ms. Given that you already need
remp delays in the device tree, it feels OK to me to just include the
1 ms there.
