Okay, I thought generic names are preferred here!

Unless the clock source is a fixed one! What if the clock source comes from
SoC? We need to set the rate, right?

The whole power supply model is a bit rotten. In my case, there are 3 different
regulators used with no software control. So, I can't control the rise time
(I assume that they are handled by the external power regulator itself).

So to be sane, I just documented with the assumption of fixed-regulators.
