The standard type of rx-internal-delay-ps is uint32-array, so it can't
be -150.

https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/property-units.yaml

 "-ps$":
    $ref: types.yaml#/definitions/uint32-array

Can we used rx-internal-delay-ps with int32 type?
like this:
  rx-internal-delay-ps:
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/int32
    enum: [ -1900, -1750, -1600, -1450, -1300, -1150, -1000, -850, -700,
-550, -400, -250, -100, 0, 50, 150, 200, 300, 350, 450, 600, 750, 900,
1050, 1200, 1350, 1500, 1650, 1800, 1950, 2100, 2250 ]
    default: 0

Tanks. We will remove tx-clk-xxxx-inverted and tx-clk-adj-enabled.
