Add property tx-amplitude-100base-tx-percent in the device tree bindings
for configuring the tx amplitude of 100BASE-TX PHYs. Modifying it can be
necessary to compensate losses on the PCB and connector, so the voltages
measured on the RJ45 pins are conforming.

Doesn't having a default statement contradict the text? Maybe the
bootloader has set it to 110%, the text suggests it will be left at
that, but the default value of 100 means it will get set back to 100%?

What do your driver changes actually do?

This should mention what the reference is - so 100% is 100% of what (it
would be the 802.3 specified 100BASE-TX level, but it should make that
clear.)

I'm having a hard time trying to find its specification in 802.3, so
maybe a reference to where it can be found would be useful, otherwise
it's unclear what one gets for "100%".

You are right, will remove the default statement.

Only if tx-amplitude-100base-tx-percent is present, the amplitude should
be changed.

Yes, will add that to the description. 100% should match 2V peak to
peak.

Compliance testing was done as described in:
https://download.tek.com/document/61W_17381_3.pdf

Didn't find the specification regarding the amplitude in 802.3, but
according to the document above it should then be part of ANSI X3.263.
Unfortunately I don't have access to ANSI X3.263, so I have to rely on
the information in the document above.
