The RXWM(RxWaterMark) sets the minimum number of free location within
the RX FIFO before the watermark is exceeded which in turn will cause
the Transport Layer to instruct the Link Layer to transmit HOLDS to the
transmitting end.
Based on the default RXWM value 0x20, RX FIFO overflow might be observed
on i.MX8QM MEK board, when some Gen3 SATA disks are used.
The FIFO overflow will result in CRC error, internal error and protocol
error, then the SATA link is not stable anymore.
To fix this issue, enlarge RX water mark setting from 0x20 to 0x29.
