[PATCH v2] PCI: imx6: Update MPLLB bandwidth to improve i.MX95 Gen3 PCIe stability

From: Richard Zhu <hongxing.zhu at nxp.com>

Bandwidth marginality was observed during i.MX95 Gen3 PCIe tests with
the default MPLLB_BINDWIDTH value. This margin degradation worsens
across voltage and temperature (VT) variations and different test
matrices, potentially causing link stability issues.

Testing with MPLLB_BINDWIDTH value of 140 (0x8c) shows significant
improvement in bandwidth margins across all VT conditions and test
scenarios.

Implement PHY register write helper function and configure:
- MPLLB_BW_OVRD_IN = 140 (0x8c) for improved bandwidth margin
- MPLLB_BW_OVRD_EN to enable the override

This ensures robust PCIe Gen3 performance across all operating
conditions.
