I've taken some more looks, and checked how similar tuning is handled in
qcom,usb-snps-femto-v2.yaml and phy-qcom-snps-femto-v2.c, and changing up
the concept of tuning in the eUSB2-repeater bindings+driver is not a
trivial task.

Since this is adding just one more property in-line with the already
supported properties in the bindings+driver, can we get this in as-is,
and deprecate all 4 qcom,tune-* properties later with a replacement that
describes the values better?

We have enough people at Qualcomm by now that should be able to do that,
and have the required resources to answer any potential questions.

Luca
