It does not replace anything.  The LM3532 has a completely different ramping table then
the other LMU devices.  The ramp times for this part is in uS not mS and there is no alignment on
common values or deltas.

I will send a patch that changes "Volts" to "millivolts" in the description.

We can always add runtime override control to the driver.

Just need to see if there is a common interface from input or IIO we can adopt.
