will change to "num-lanes".

serdes on different peripherals have different number of
lanes and each individual lane can be enabled or disabled.

ok, this is not actually needed and will remove

a serdes can be configured at different link rates.  for example,
the 10gbe serdes can be configured at 1.25G link rate to support
1gbe on the 10gbe switch.

the serdes is a generic hardware block that needs to be configured
with the proper link-rate and lane control rate.

will add descriptions for lane nodes

will update to the following

lanes {
	lane@0 {
		reg = <0>;
		...
	};

	lane@1 {
		reg = <1>;
		...	
	};
};

after the above mentioned update, this will become: status = "disabled/ok".

will add documentation

ok. will update the binding and change of_find_property to
of_property_read_bool.
