The device lm90 can be controlled by the vdd rail.
Adding the power control support to power on/off the vdd rail.
And make sure that power is enabled before accessing the device.

Can this delay be handled directly from regulator?

I think it should be handled in the device driver.
Because there have different delay time to wait devices stable.


Then why does no other caller of regulator_enable() need this ?
I don't think lm90 is so much different to other users of regulator
functionality.

Besides that, your delay is unconditional, even for static regulators
which are always on. Other callers of regulator_enable() don't need
all that complexity, which I take as sign that it is not needed here either.
