+Optional properties:
+--------------------
...
+- min-slew-down-rate	: Describes how slowly the regulator voltage will decay
+			  down in the worst case (lightest expected load).
+			  Specified in uV / us (like main regulator ramp rate).
+			  This value is required when ovp-threshold-percent is
+			  specified.
Don't we have a standard prop for this or that's just for ramp?
regulator-ramp-delay is related, but not exactly the same. The
ramp-delay is applied at the end of an up- or downward transition,
while this prop only specifies the downward rate and is applied in
between partial transitions towards the final voltage.

We possibly could use ramp-delay and add a set_voltage_time() op to
vctrl to prevent the core code from adding the "normal" ramp-delay at
the end of the transition. However it could be confusing that vctrl
handles the ramp-delay differently than other drivers, especially we
don't want a delay in the upward transition for vctrl. But maybe
nobody would care about the different behavior, as long as the
regulator does its job ...
Actually the behavior of a delay on the downward transition and no
delay on the upward transition is hardware specific. Other users of
this driver might need a standard ramp delay, therefore I think it's
not a good idea to (re-)use this property in vctrl.
