They're the 'typical values' from the data sheet and it's basically all
about setting a default for "regulator-enable-ramp-delay" to avoid
having every board do the same. If that's not the right thing todo let
me know and i add these to each of our boards (which is where i
basically started from but then figured that this would be busywork
and every board would hit that problem).

So s.th. like

BD71837_BUCK1_STARTUP_TIME 144

(using the terminology from the datasheet)? If that works I'll send a
v2.
