No, the current application default on powers buck1/buck2/ldo7/ldo6
are for Dram power.
It's not the soc core power. It seems not appropriate  to implement
like as PSCI.
MT6360 play the role for the subpmic in the SOC application reference design.

No. you may misunderstand. there's an external 'Enable' pin that's
connected to the main pmic.
The starting point of delay time are all from  the external 'Enable' H to L.
Not one-by-one delay time,

Power on sequence already defined by the part number, It's not decided by SW.
So for the flexibility, I implement it in DT.

Duel to there're many part number MT6360 P/UP/LP, etc.
The difference are the power on sequence.

Do you have any suggestion about this situation?

PS: Due to DRAM power usage , sometimes it also need to customized by
the DRAM that customer choosed.
It may differ from external DRAM part choosen following by JEDEC spec.
