[PATCH v5 5/6] regulator: core: Add support for a fixed delay after voltage changes

From: Matthias Kaehlcke
Date: Wed Sep 14 2016 - 12:55:06 EST


The target voltage is not necessarily reached inmediately after
requesting a regulator to change the voltage. In some cases the
ramp_delay can be used to calculate the stabilisation time, in others
there is no direct relationship between the delta in the voltage and
the stabilisation time. This change introduces the device tree properties
"regulator-settle-time-up-us"/"regulator-settle-time-down-us" which
allow to specify a fixed delay after a voltage increase or decrease.

Changes in v5:
- Added support for delay on voltage decreases
- Don't skip set_voltage_time op if no settle time and ramp delay
