My understanding is:
If the h/w does not support disabling ramp_delay, the regulator core
won't call ops->set_ramp_delay when ramp_delay=0.
If the h/w supports disabling ramp, i.e. ramp_disable flag is true,
the regulator core will
call ops->set_ramp_delay with ramp_delay=0. in this case, it should
have an exactly match and
write the register to disable ramp_delay.
