[PATCH v6] dt-bindings: phy: cadence-torrent: Update clocks for multilink SERDES

[Gokul Praveen]

For multilink SERDES configurations where each link requires a
different clock frequency, the SERDES provisions an additional
reference clock for PLL1. Hence, document it.

The pll1 is already there.

Also, the TI variant does it or cdns one or both?

Yes, but the existing configuration has a limitation as

it does not allow both pll1 and phy_en_refclk to be used at the same time.

Both of them.
