PCI: imx6: Update MPLLB bandwidth to improve i.MX95 Gen3 PCIe stability

This commit updates the MPLLB bandwidth override values to improve PCIe stability
on i.MX95 across voltage and temperature variations. It implements a PHY register
write helper and configures the bandwidth parameters during initialization.

[Severity: Medium]
Could these two consecutive updates on IMX95_PCIE_PHY_REG_ADDR create a
transient invalid hardware state?

Setting IMX95_PCIE_PHY_REG_EN first and IMX95_PCIE_PHY_REG_ADDR_MASK second
might expose an intermediate state where the PHY evaluates the address while EN
is asserted, but the address bits contain a previous value. This could
result in a spurious access to the old address.

Can these operations be combined into a single regmap_update_bits() call to
avoid this?
