I'm to blame here as I suggested that text. However I still find the
original wording was ambiguous: my initial reading of it was close to
the opposite of the intended meaning. xlnx,en-active-lanes means "a
register exists to configure the active lanes at runtime" and I just
care that this is stated clearly and unambiguously.

If we cannot mention a control name here, why not just dropping it:

- xlnx,en-active-lanes: present if the number of active lanes can be
  reconfigured at runtime in the Protocol Configuration Register.
  Otherwise all lanes are always active.
