Its not clear what these are used for. I think these are actually
package properties, so having the correctly documented in the binding
would help a lot understand why we need package properties.

Actually using #define like this is probably wrong. You should just
have a u32 tx_driver_mv property, and list [140, 160, 180, 200,
... 600] as valid values. The driver should then convert to whatever
value it should write into the register.
