Hi,

Yes, It happened unintentionally. I didn't know about your patch
before submitting
the initial version of my patches. I agree with you, I will review
your patches and
will try to incorporate extra features from your patches.

Yes, according to technical reference manual which I have, ramp rate for
LDOs is also 100mV/us.

If pdata doesn't have proper ramp_delay, it will get value
MAX77686_RAMP_RATE_27MV.

Yes, we have taken care of this case above before setting value of
max77686->ramp_delay.

Yes, we are using regmap_update_bits().  max77686_update_reg() is just
a wrapper over it.

Yes, I was also thinking about where to put it. I am not sure whether this
is a proper place to put them. Anyway I will again think about it.

Thanks,
