There is already some sort of explanation under
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/mediatek,mt7621-pci-phy.yaml, so I'm
not sure what I'm improving by adding new text in the /pci/ section.

Maybe I haven't explained properly in the commit message, this is meant to
give a name to the 1 and 0 values used in the device tree, not to clarify
any perceived missing documentation.
