Oh, this is interesting, ... booting up without the delays would be ...
much nicer.

Does this work 'out of the box' ? I.e. if this patch is applied, I
assume it is required to remove the regulator delays that I/we have in DT?

Likewise, does that note mean this patch must also be accompanied by the
update in max9286 somehow?

I guess we can't keep 'test bisectability' with this very easily so it
probably doesn't matter too much, the end result will be the interesting
part.
