Some regulators (some PWM regulators) have the voltage transition
non-linear i.e. exponentially. On such cases, the settling time
for voltage transition can not be presented in the voltage-ramp-delay.

Add new property for non-linear voltage transition and handle this
in getting the voltage settling time.

This patch is continuation of discussion on patch
    regulator: pwm: Fix regulator ramp delay for continuous mode
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9216857/
where is it discussed to have separate property for PWM which has
exponential voltage transition.

Changes from V1:
- Use new DT property to finding that voltage ramp is exponential or
  not and use flag for having fixed delay for all voltage change.

Changes from V2:
- Based on review comment from V1, make the settling time property
  independent of the regulator-ramp-delay and move this to core
  framework instead of handling in PWM regulator.

Changes from V3:
- The change was sent long back and resuming this patch.
- Rebase on linux-next tag 20170330 for resend.
