The comments have been added for three reasons:
1. The meaning of the following properties isn't obvious:
	ti,core-clk-sel = <1>
	ti,ssc-type = <1>
2. For ease of 'grepping'. Grepping for '33 KHz' for example based on the 
USB 3.2 Specification's modulation rate will not show '33000' in the results.
3. Completeness / Consistency. Since some of the less obvious properties 
have been described via comments, the remaining have also been commented 
on, although it is obvious what it means (ti,ssc-enable for example).

Unless you have a strong objection to removing the comments, I would prefer 
retaining them. Please let me know.

Regards,
Siddharth.
