Drive strengths we program here when auto calibration fails are
recommended values based on pre-SI circuit analysis and characterized
across PVT.

So,  these fail safe values are same for all boards of specific SoC as
all platform designs follow the design guidelines.

HI Uffe,

Please drop $subject patch. Will send patch that allows parsing for
these properties only for SoC where auto cal is enabled as that's where
driver needs these properties.

So with this fix, warning will not show up on systems where autocal is
not enabled.

Thanks

Sowjanya
