Most of PMICs offer to configure the slew rate (ramp time). For 
discussion, I am considering MAX77620 LDOs provides option to 27mV/us 
and 100mV/us.

HW team characterize the board and its rail and come up with the 
following data:
- Configure PMIC to 27mV/us for ramp time.
- With this measured value of ramp on board is 10mV/us and it is safe 
to  assume 5mv/us to consider the board variations.

So we have now two input from HW team:
1. What should be configure in PMIC.
2. And for calculation, how much ramp need to be consider.

For (1), it is 25mV/us and for (2) which 540% (27 *100/5).

Currently, we can provide the 27mv/us as ramp-delay but do not have 
option for scaling it.

My patch add for knob for (2).
