Thanks, Steve.
The freq. exceeding the EMI margin is 8GHz. Enabling SSC should help on that I
think.
Any impact & precaution for turning SSC on? Looks there would be no big issue
since all our chip vendors claims their products work fairly well with SSC on...

This is another infamous: "It depends".
First: Will any combination of anticipated measures yield a solution that
meets both your SI and EMC requirements?
Second: Do you prioritize margin to SI or EMC, or split them?
It sounds like you have a design that has failed EMC. Before twiddling
anything that you can look at where you are failing and how badly.
TX swing can only reduce noise in the best case dB for dB. So, if you just
need a couple of dB to squeak by and have the link budget, it is an option.
SSC can buy up to 10dB on the clock and harmonics.
Edge rate could help if you have resonance issues. Otherwise, it is similar to
fiddling with the Tx swing.
