Subject: [PATCH V4 1/4] ufs: dt-bindings: Document gear and rate limit properties

Add optional "limit-hs-gear" and "limit-rate" properties to the
UFS controller common binding. These properties allow limiting
the maximum HS gear and rate.

This is useful in cases where the customer board may have signal
integrity, clock configuration or layout issues that prevent reliable
operation at higher gears. Such limitations are especially critical in
those platforms, where stability is prioritized over peak performance.
