Thanks for the detailed explanation, Mani.

That makes perfect sense. I have confirmed that the hardware default value
for our SoC is correct and there is currently no need for board-level
overrides.

Following your suggestion, I will remove the hardcoded max-link-speed from
the driver in v4 and rely on the DWC core to handle it. If a board-level
workaround becomes necessary in the future, we can add the property in the
board DTS file without touching the driver.
