There is no neither a driver that parses this nor a DT binding schema that
documents it so let's remove it from the DTS files that make use of this.
The properties that exist are post-pwm-on-delay-ms and pwm-off-delay-ms,
defined in the pwm-backlight DT binding. So probably what these DTS want
is something like following:
backlight: backlight {
compatible = "pwm-backlight";
enable-gpios = <&gpio4 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&bl_en>;
pwms = <&pwm1 0 1000000 0>;
post-pwm-on-delay-ms = <10>;
pwm-off-delay-ms = <10>;
};
But that should be follow-up change if that is the case. Because otherwise
it would be change in behaviour, since currently pwm-delay-us is a no-op.

pwm-delay-us seems to have been a downstream-only ("CHROMIUM", if
you're familiar with ChromiumOS kernel parlance) change that seems
like a combination of the two now-upstream properties you point at. I
looked through the first use of pwm-delay-us on RK3399 Gru systems,
and I can't find a spec reference that said it was needed; perhaps it
was needless copy/paste imitation?
So, simple deletion is probably fine:

Ups, I noticed now that there's an unnecessary "no" and it should be instead:
"There is neither a driver..."

Yes, that's what I found too. So it seems that this was an oversight when
the DTS for these Chromebooks were upstreamed.

Thanks for the confirmation and review!
