I think the first version is much clearer. maximum-speed = "super-speed"
is very clear and explicit. nvidia,disable-gen2 is less so. While it may
be true in this case what "disable-gen2" does, using the generic
bindings has the advantage that it'll be more familiar to people already
familiar with other USB device tree bindings.

Also, the nvidia,disable-gen2 property only perfectly matches the need
because it reflects the name of the variable. If you rewrote the code to
do something like this:

	if (port->maximum_speed <= USB_SPEED_SUPER) {
		/* disable gen2 */
		...
	}

Then all of a sudden the "maximum-speed" property is a perfect match. In
general, bindings should be natural to the domain of the bus or device
that they describe rather than a reflection of how the driver programs
the device's registers.

On a side-note: we should also update the usb/generic.txt binding to
describe the "super-speed-plus" value for the maximum-speed property.
