[PATCH] ARM: dts: imx6qdl: correct PU regulator ramp delay

Contrary to what was believed at the time, the ramp delay of 150us is not
plenty for the PU LDO with the default step time of 512 pulses of the 24MHz
clock. Measurements have shown that after enabling the LDO the voltage on
VDDPU_CAP jumps to ~750mV in the first step and after that the regulator
executes the normal ramp up as defined by the step size control.

This means it takes the regulator between 360us and 370us to ramp up to
the nominal 1.15V voltage for this power domain. With the old setting of
the ramp delay the power up of the PU GPC domain would happen in the middle
of the regulator ramp with the voltage being at around 900mV. Apparently
this was enough for most units to properly power up the peripherals in the
domain and execute the reset. Some units however, fail to power up properly,
especially when the chip is at a low temperature. In that case any access
to the GPU registers would yield an incorrect result with no way to recover
from this situation.

Change the ramp delay to 380us to cover the measured ramp up time with a
bit of additional slack.

                     add a enable ramp delay")
