If these are defined by the PCIe spec, then why is it Broadcom specific
property?
Yes, I will remove the "brcm," prefix.

Hi Rob,

qcom pcie driver also needs to program these presets as you suggested
this can go to common pci bridge binding.

from PCIe spec 6.0.1 revision section 8.3.3.3 & 4.2.4.2 for data rates
of  8.0 GT/s, 16.0 GT/s, and 32.0 GT/s uses one class of preset (P0
through P10) and where as data rates of 64.0 GT/s use different class of
presets (Q0 through Q10) (Table 4-23). And data rates of 8.0 GT/s also
have optional preset hints (Table 4-24).

And there is possibility that for each data rate we may require
different preset configuration.

Can we have a dt binding for each data rate of 16 byte array.
like gen3-eq-preset array, gen4-eq-preset array etc.

Yes, that was the idea when using "genX-eq-preset", for X in {3,4...}.

Keep in mind that this is an RFC; I have a backlog of commit submissions before I can submit the code that uses this DT property.  If you (Krishna) want to submit something now I'd be quite happy to go with that.  I don't believe it is acceptable to submit a bindings commit w/o code that uses it (if I'm incorrect I'll be glad to do a V2).

Last I saw, you can only have up to 16 lanes.
