Yes I do read them in the DWC AHCI driver and use ilog2() to get
the corresponding power of two value.

Right and is limited to be within [1; 1024]. Do you suggest to add a
respective comment in the description or just manually enumerate the
POW2 values? I don't believe there is a ready-to-use power-of-2 type in
the /schemas/types.yaml file. BTW what about adding one seeing there are
many cases where it could be useful?
