Here my intention for turn-on time is the time from OFF state to ON
state and the ON voltage settled on this time.
This time is separate from underlying enable time of the device i.e.
will not get added.
We observe in some of platform that some of regulator is taking more
time than time given as per datasheet.
Yes, completely agree that this is not the data provided normally, just
we observe on scope that some of platform shows more than the datasheet
value and hence this patch.

The same rail on other design does not show the enable time more than
datasheet and on that case, we will not provide this value.

My bad, will take care.
