The Broadcom STB/CM PCIe HW -- a core that is also used by RPi SOCs --
requires the driver to deliberately place the RC HW one of three CLKREQ#
modes.  The "brcm,clkreq-mode" property allows the user to override the
default setting.  If this property is omitted, the default mode shall be
"default".

I assume "WRT" is shorthand for "with respect to", but it's slightly
confusing following all the other acronyms.

These are all weirdly wrapped.  Really no reason to use lines shorter
than 80.

Same spec citation question as in patch 2/3.
