Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] phy: core: Reword the comment specifying the units of max_link_rate to be Mbps

In some subsystems (eg. CAN, SPI), the max link rate supported can be less
than 1 Mbps and if the unit for max_link_rate is Mbps then it can't be
used. Therefore, leave the decision of units to be used, to the producer
and consumer.
