Yes. Will reword the commit message as "higher speeds"

No, max speed will be still as per advertised by link or it will be
equal to the limited speed as per DT property if any.
This register will prohibit to perform all phases of equalization and
thus allowing link to happen in maximum supported/advertised speed.

This is not to limit max link speed, this register helps link to
happen in higher speeds (GEN3/4) without going through equalization
phases. It is intended to use only if at all link fails to latch up in
GEN3/4 due to failure in equalization phases.

Yes, before posting we taught about it, but then next patchset is
adding one more quirk and in that case we need to repeat read and
write under each if condition. I hope that repetition should be fine.
