Having just dug through the regulator core code at work, I agree.

Furthermore, the commit log for this addition specifically mentions the
reason for adding this property is to provide a (guessed) ramp rate for
the core to do a proper delay for the regulator to ramp up, not to set
the actual ramp rate in hardware.
