pwm-delay-us seems to have been a downstream-only ("CHROMIUM", if
you're familiar with ChromiumOS kernel parlance) change that seems
like a combination of the two now-upstream properties you point at. I

and I can't find a spec reference that said it was needed; perhaps it
was needless copy/paste imitation?
