This property specifies slot power limit in mW unit. It is form-factor and
board specific value and must be initialized by hardware.
Some PCIe controllers delegates this work to software to allow hardware
flexibility and therefore this property basically specifies what should
host bridge programs into PCIe Slot Capabilities registers.
Property needs to be specified in mW unit, and not in special format
defined by Slot Capabilities (which encodes scaling factor or different
unit). Host drivers should convert value from mW unit to their format.
