It will work OK because at the beginning of s2mps11_set_ramp_delay():
	unsigned int ramp_disable = !ramp_delay;
This 'ramp_disable' is later used if enable/disable is supported.

The same, it is already stored as 'ramp_disable' local variable.

I think it is good. I changed the 'ramp_enable' into 'ramp_disable'.

Anyway while reviewing the code I found that I didn't updated the case
statements with new BUCKX enum values and the register for
enable/disable is hard-coded. I'll fix it.

Overall more code is removed than added:
6 files changed, 454 insertions(+), 719 deletions(-)
but you are right that the code for ramp delay is now more complex. What
is worth noting now most of ramp delay settings are moved to an array:

static const struct s2mpx_ramp_reg s2mps11_ramp_regs[] = {
	[S2MPX_BUCK1]   = s2mps11_ramp_reg(BUCK16),
	[S2MPX_BUCK2]   = s2mps11_buck2346_ramp_reg(BUCK2, RAMP, BUCK2),
	[S2MPX_BUCK3]   = s2mps11_buck2346_ramp_reg(BUCK34, RAMP, BUCK3)

instead of being hard-coded into the big switch statement like it was
before.

Alternative solution to complex ramp delay setting is to just use
original functions: s2mps11_set_ramp_delay and s2mpa01_set_ramp_delay.

These chips are really similar so having two drivers seems like doubling
the effort for maintaining them.

Thanks for comments.
