The values shall ultimately be stored in fuses in the SoC. The current
bootloader cannot convert these values into device tree properties. Also
there is the new nvmem framework landing. This will allow us to put a
description into the device tree where in the fuses the calibration
values are found, rather than putting the calibration values themselves
into the device tree. This all needs some discussion and work, so I left
this topic for later.
