Subject: regulator: ab8500: ambiguous meaning of delay setting in struct
 ab8500_regulator_info

Hi,

The comment of struct ab8500_regulator_info says the delay means
"startup/set voltage delay in us".
I'm confused by the meaning, does it mean enable_time or set_voltage_time_sel
time or both?

 * @enable_time: Time taken for the regulator voltage output voltage to
 *               stabilise after being enabled, in microseconds.

 * @set_voltage_time_sel: Time taken for the regulator voltage output voltage
 *               to stabilise after being set to a new value, in microseconds.
 *               The function provides the from and to voltage selector, the
 *               function should return the worst case.

Current code only has delay setting for AB8500_LDO_TVOUT, it looks like it
means enable_time rather than the delay for set_voltage_time_sel.
(well, AB8500_LDO_TVOUT is fixed voltage, it does not implement set_voltage_time_sel)

ab8500_regulator_set_voltage_time_sel() returns info->delay, but all it's users
(AB8500_LDO_AUX1, AB8500_LDO_AUX2, AB8500_LDO_AUX3, AB8500_LDO_INTCORE)
do not has delay setting. ( So now ab8500_regulator_set_voltage_time_sel returns 0. )
