Unless something like this exists? regulator_enable() (via regulator_do_enable() already does this: /* Allow the regulator to ramp; it would be useful to extend * this for bulk operations so that the regulators can ramp * together. */ trace_regulator_enable_delay(rdev_get_name(rdev)); ... but I wonder if here we are still dealing with some form of 5 even in the absence of reset gpio being actually wired up (how is the chip's reset pin actually wired in this system)? It would be good if we had something like regulator_get_enabled_time() to know actual time when regulator was enabled (and for always on or stub regulators we might use the boot time as "on" time), so that we do not wait unnecessarily in case the regulator was turned on long time ago or was never turned off...
