These values are meant to be safe values for silicon operation as
characterised[1] by the HW team. So I'd consider them a more than just
default values. It also gives future boards a safe starting point.

IMHO it would be better to have the characterized values merged
upstream and if really required, those values can be tweaked in the
board-specific DTS.

[1] Caveat: The characterisation probably focused on mobile devices
and might change depending on form-factor, active cooling and heat
dissipation design but those differences should only impact the skin
temperature, not the operation of the SoC itself.
