I think I've asked about this before, but I think this should be done more
consistently with the other UFS bindings.

In particular, I wonder if what you describe as the "UFS SYS CTRL"
area corresponds to what Qualcomm have described as their PHY
implementation. It certainly seems to driver some of the properties
that would normally be associated with a PHY.

For the "clock-names" property, you specify "clk_ref", which I
assume is the same as what Qualcomm call "ref_clk". I'd
suggest you use the existing name and add that as the
default name in the ufshcd-pltfrm.txt binding document.

The "clk_phy" property appears to be related to the PHY, so
it might be better to have a separate phy node with either just
the clk, or with the clk plus the "UFS SYS CTRL" register area,
whichever matches your hardware better, and then use teh
"phys/phy-names" property to refer to that.

The reset handling you describe here (both resets and reset-gpios)
appears to be completely generic, so I'd suggest adding those to
ufshcd-pltfrm.txt instead of your own binding, to ensure that future
drivers use the same identifiers.
