This will add an unwanted delay on ACPI systems that handle power
sequencing in firmware. However use of "optional" regulators is frowned
upon in this case as the supply in reality is not optional.

Mark, has there been any developments that would help reconciling
difference in behavior between ACPI and DT systems. Ideally we'd need to
know when supply was turned on, and adjust the wait accordingly.

Thanks.
