It is actually not very useful here, nor in the mux-control binding. The
same gpio lines (or mux-control) could be used to control several muxes,
all with vastly different needs as to how long the settle time needs to
be. I.e. it is not the gpio lines (or mux-control) that need to settle,
it is the signal(s) that travel through the controlled mux(es) that need
to settle.

In this case, a settle time property was added to the io-channel-mux
binding, which makes much more sense.
