Not really. The settings are slot-specific. The only reason it's in the global
register space is that the settings cannot be part of the SDHCI. That Aspeed
chose to pack them in the same register, and _interleaved_ at that, is
unfortunate.
As the settings are slot-specific they should be associated with each slot's
node. We should concentrate on representing the intent of the controls and
not tie the devicetree representation to the register layout that Aspeed came
up with.

IMO this is a loss for readability, so I'm not convinced it should be changed.
The outcome is some opaque register value that is shoved in the devicetree,
and given the baffling interleaving and choices of field sizes that's not a place
I want to be.

So there are two parts to the phase configuration, the phase adjustment
value, and a switch to turn phase adjustment on or off. Both fields exist
for both in and out phase adjustments for both slots.
So this branch will cause the phase control to be disabled, but it won't
change the phase value that was originally programmed. If we maintain
the original semantics it shouldn't be dropped.
However, below you suggest we maintain the configuration (both
enable and value state) in the absence of the property, so the code
needs to be reworked to uphold suggestion.
