This is a wrapper for a function that has exactly one caller but is not
only a separate function but also in the MFD header, part of a separate
driver. This seems at best pointless.

Use the standard ramp_delay, don't open code it.

"I copied this from the vendor" isn't really a great explanation... If
the device is likely to get completely powered off and loosing settings
then presumably the entire register map, not just this one value, needs
to be saved and restored instead of just this one value. If that is the
case it's probably best to use a register cache and just resync it on
resume.
