It is probably neither.

It is used to calculate a delay inserted by the kernel between setting
a new target voltage over I2C and changing the frequency of the CPU.
The actual delay is calculated by the difference between previous and
the new voltage.

I don't remember seeing anything in the datasheet of the regulator.
This is just some low value that works.

It would probably be dependent on the capacitance on the output of the
regulator, actual load (which varies), etc. So it is a board specific
value. One could measure it with an oscilloscope if there's a need to
optimize this.

regards,
