It shouldn't have been added in the first place, it stems from code
that incorrectly assumes that the code path is only executed when
ramp_delay is set. I removed the message from that code
(d89564efe79419a093e966a959bf5ba2c94e693f "regulator: core: Don't skip
set_voltage_time when ramp delay disabled"), but missed to remove/not
add it in this function.
