[PATCH v4 2/4] dt-bindings: Add 'slot-power-limit-milliwatt' PCIe port property

This property specifies slot power limit in mW unit. It is a form-factor
and board specific value and must be initialized by hardware.

Some PCIe controllers delegate this work to software to allow hardware
flexibility and therefore this property basically specifies what should
host bridge program into PCIe Slot Capabilities registers.

The property needs to be specified in mW unit instead of the special format
defined by Slot Capabilities (which encodes scaling factor or different
unit). Host drivers should convert the value from mW to needed format.
