In this patch, I have added checks for the "max-link-speed" property in the same
section that "num-lanes" is being evaluated. The values for "max-link-speed" are
based on the Hardware support and this patch is validating the "max-link-speed"
property in the device-tree nodes for the devices against the Hardware supported
values which this patch is adding in the corresponding section. Kindly let me
know if I misunderstood what you meant to convey.
