Any comment on this approach?

Like to add property as "regulator-device-ramp-delay" which will be used 
for PMIC configuration and regulator-ramp-delay will be used for delay 
calculation. This is case when advertised ramp delay does not match with 
the platform measured ramp delay.

If regulator-device-ramp-delay is not provided from platform then 
regulator-ramp-delay will be used for PMIC configuration as well as for 
the delay calculation. This is case when advertised ramp delay match 
with the platform measured ramp delay.
