This code is interpreting current-ramping-time-us as milliseconds rather
than microseconds!

I know I used microseconds in the example I proposed in the feedback for
v4 DT bindings but "something like" means I am merely providing an
example (mostly I was intending to show that the units should be
included both in the property name *and* description).

It is up to you whether you fix the mismatch by changing the DT bindings
document to current-ramping-time-ms or change this code to accept
values in microseconds.

Similarly, this code has not adopted the units specified in the
bindings documentation.

In this case 0 would map to 512us so if you decided to use milliseconds
you will need to add comment in the description saying that 0 will map
to 512us because the hardware cannot ramp faster than this!
