Is it better to let the core handles the ramp delay instead of set_voltage_sel with a busy wait?
I've found that polling DC_OK is only reliable for increasing voltages. So i think about defining ramp delay in the regulator description.
It's better to use the notification from the device if it is reliable; dead reckoning isn't going to work well either for voltage reduction since the time taken to implement a drop in voltage is more a function of the loading than anything else, the regulator can't really control it. For most DC-DC loads it'll be quick enough though.
