I'm beginning to wonder if there will be a need in the future to not
increase the reverse channel amplitude (keeping the threshold low on the
remote side). An increased amplitude increases power consumption, and if
the environment isn't noisy, a low amplitude would work. The device tree
would then need to specify both the initial amplitude required by the
remote side, and the desired amplitude after initialization. What do you
think ? Is it overkill ? We don't have to implement this now, so

but if this feature could be required later, we may want to take into
account in the naming of the new DT property to reflect the fact that it
is the initial value.
