Hi Raju

There is no table five here? Is that a reference to a data sheet
table?

No, real values please:

                vsc8531,vddmac		= <2000>;
                vsc8531,edge-slowdown	= <21>;

The driver should then do the maths to figure out the nearest magic
value to write to the register, or complain the settings are out of
range with an -EINVAL.

FYI: No floating point maths are allowed in the kernel.
