I noticed that in lm90 SPEC, the max of "SMBus Clock > Low Time" is 25ms, so I supposed that it may need about 20ms to stable > after power on. > > Anyway, if I remove this delay, the driver also works fine, so I will > remove it in my next patch. I originally had in mind that regulator API contain own delay option. E.g. reg-fixed-voltage && gpio-regulator contains "startup-delay-us" property. --- ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{��נ���^n�r������&��z�ޗ�zf���h���~����������_��+v���)ߣ�
