[PATCH v9 1/2] dt-bindings: ufs: Document static TX Equalization settings properties

[PATCH v9 1/2] dt-bindings: ufs: Document static TX Equalization settings properties

[Can Guo]

UFS v5.0/UFSHCI v5.0 adds HS-G6 support (46.6 Gbps/lane) via UniPro
v3.0 and M-PHY v6.0. These specs define TX Equalization for all
High-Speed Gears (not only HS-G6) to compensate channel loss and
improve signal integrity at high speed.

For HS-G6, M-PHY uses PAM4 1b1b line coding. Pre-Coding may also be
required depending on channel characteristics.

Document vendor-neutral properties in ufs-common.yaml:
- txeq-preshoot-g[1-6]
- txeq-deemphasis-g[1-6]
- tx-precode-enable-g6

Values are per-lane Host/Device tuples (2 values for x1, 4 values for
x2). PreShoot/DeEmphasis range from 0..7, and Precode is 0/1.

These are board-specific signal-integrity tuning values. They depend on
channel SI/PHY characterization and validation (host PHY, device PHY,
package, and board routing), and are determined by HW/PHY designers.

Although UFSHCI v5.0 supports TX Equalization Training via UniPro v3.0,
which allows host software to determine optimal TX Equalization at
runtime, static board-specific TX Equalization settings in the Device
Tree are still necessary because:
- TX Equalization Training is not supported for HS-G3 and below
- TX Equalization Training is disabled on some platforms
