I doubt that.  Searching drivers/cpufreq folder, I can see there are
several cpufreq drivers scaling voltage with regulator API, but none
of them is calling regulator_set_voltage_time to find voltage latency.
That said, all these users are specify transition latency on their own.

There will be only one magic number, and it can easily become "magic"
with some comments put there.

Is the following patch what you are ordering here?
