+	  Most OMAPs' provide a way to specify the time for which the reset
+	  should be held low while the voltages and Oscillator outputs
+	  stabilize.
+	  This time is mostly board and PMIC dependent. Hence the boards are
+	  expected to specify a pre-computed time using the above option.
+	  This value can be computed using a summation of the below 3
+	  parameters
+	  1: Time taken by the Osciallator to stop and restart
+	  2: PMIC OTP time
+	  3: Voltage ramp time, which can be derived using the PMIC slew rate
+	     and value of voltage ramp needed.
