That would be more like the equivalent of the "deassert" delay used a
few lines below. The "assert" delay would be a different property,
unless we want to guess at a reasonable value, or else key off something
like 'compatible'.
But otherwise, sure, we could reuse it. We'd then want to modify the
binding documentation to be less specific to the "vdd-supply" though.

I feel like we've had this discussion. I think the essence of the
disagreement was that the maintainer of this driver did not want to
support a long list of 'compatible' properties for stuff that's
otherwise all hidden by the ACPI model -- the DT binding doc even refers
to a Windows/ACPI spec. (A secondary concern was that the I2C subsystem
still doesn't support multiple compatible strings with modules
correctly, IIRC.)
I don't really know how to bridge that gap. DT-based platforms are
inherently not ACPI, and all the device "power on" logic just has to be
done in the kernel. Unfortunately, some ways of slicing this require
more burden on driver maintainers...

I don't know how many devices need something like this, but this is a
pretty common model. I don't see why the next device with a reset pin
wouldn't be able to reuse the same timing knobs.
And FWIW, this is still the same "wacom,w9013", just different board
design. We could theoretically key off the compatible, and list the
datasheet numbers in the driver; but see my comment above.
Not sure what you mean about "timing critical"; in this case the values
are 1ms and 30ms respectively, and they are used at power-on and
(potentially) system resume. I'm not sure there would be much harm if
these timings were significantly longer than the datasheet recommends,
but at some point, excessive delay would cause boot or suspend/resume
inefficiencies. (Asynchronous probe and suspend/resume can often
mitigate these inefficiencies.)
