A change of the duty cycle doesn't necessarily cause an immediate switch
to the target voltage.  On many PWM regulators there is a fixed "settle
time" (irrespective of the jump size) that we need to wait after an
upward jump.  This change introduces the device tree property
"settle-time-up-us" which allows us to specify a fixed delay after a
voltage increase.

We don't add an option of a fixed delay on the way down for now because
the way down is probably modelled best with a ramp rate, not a fixed
delay.

Changes in v3:
- Took out fixed delay for falling transitions
- Updated description

Why is this specific to regulators implemented with PWM controllers?
Most DCDCs have a PWM element and the concept of a hard time limit for
transition rather than a ramp rate doesn't seem like it'd be unique.

I take that back. What Mark said...
