phy: spacemit: Add USB3/PCIe comb PHY driver for Spacemit K3

Adds a USB3/PCIe comb PHY driver for Spacemit K3. The comb PHY requires
configuring a syscon device for the correct mux configuration and needs
calibration before usage.

[Severity: High]
Does this completely overwrite PHY_PLL_REG1 and zero out unspecified bits?

Unlike the PCIe initialization path which uses a read-modify-write for this
register, this direct writel() in k3_usb3phy_init_single() clobbers the
entire register. Could this cause important default settings or calibration
values to be lost?

[Severity: High]
Does this clobber the entire PCIE_RX_REG1 register for lane 0?

The preceding loop performs a read-modify-write on PCIE_RX_REG1 for all lanes,
but this direct writel() on phy_base (which points to lane 0) invalidates
that previous work and zeroes out any bits not explicitly set here.

Should this also use a read-modify-write operation to preserve the register
state?
