No, when we pull down DVSn pin, the voltage value is from
RK808_BUCK1_ON_VSEL_REG,
and when we pull up DVSn pin, the voltage value if from
RK808_BUCK1_ON_VSEL_REG+2.
We want to this dvs function for a better voltage wave, avoid overshoot,
if someone do not
need this function, they could remove the setting of DVSn pin in dts
file, and at that time,
rk808_regulator will use a same register for setting voltage.

the spec said 2/4/6/10 mv/us, but the ramp will change depending on the
load.
So I think the dvsok pin is more accurate, since it It will soon change,
once the
regulator is completed. the delay is a fixed time. it is faster than
dvsok pin.
