No, this is not about configuration and we need two separate compatibles
as the two PHY instances are distinct and only one of them can be used
in 4-lane mode.

The mistake was to ever describe pcie6a as 2-lane in the x1e80100 dtsi
(and possibly also in the ambiguous commit message above). Whether
pcie6a is used in 4-lane or 2-lane mode is determined by a TCSR
register.
