Okay, I will remove it.

Sorry. I didn't express myself clearly.
"Driving capability" refers to the magnitude of the Dp/Dm output swing.
For a different board or port, the original magnitude maybe not meet the specification.
In this situation we can adjust the value to meet the specification.

The default is mean hardware default value.
I can add the default value.

> What do the values mean?

The description can be modified to:
description:
Control the magnitude of High speed Dp/Dm output swing.
For a different board or port, the original magnitude maybe not meet
the specification. In this situation we can adjust the value to meet
the specification.

No, it's not that complicated.
In our case, not all ICs have programming efuse.
The value "realtek,deiving-level" is for non-programmed efuse ICs.

In the programmed efuse IC, we use the value of efuse to instead of "realtek,driving-level".
If the magnitude of High speed Dp/Dm output swing still not meet the specification,
then we can set the value "driving-compensate" to meet the specification.

The description can be modified to:
realtek,driving-compensate:
description:
For RTD1315e SoC, the driving level can be adjusted by reading the
efuse table. This property provides drive compensation.
If the magnitude of High speed Dp/Dm output swing still not meet the
specification, then we can set this value to meet the specification.

I will add more examples in here.
