Why?

What do these describe? Why do we need them?

Please describe what this is and why we need it.

For reading boolean proeprties, use of_property_read_bool.

Why not initialise pdata->buck_ramp_delay to 0 beforehand?

That way you don't need to check the return value of
of_property_read_u32 here.

I note that pdata->buck_ramp_delay is an int, not a u32. Please use a
u32 temporary variable.

NAK. None of these seem to be documented in mainline's
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/s5m8767-regulator.txt, nor
does documentation seem to be added here. Until there's some description
of what these are and why they're needed, I don't think they're
suitable.

Thanks,
Mark.
