I think the concept of having a phy clk is generic enough that it's
better to have
that in the common part, others will surely have the same thing, and
in this case,
qcom would be the exception that does not use one.

There are apparently a couple of things related to the phy that may or may not
require a clk:

- ref_clk: The reference clock on the mipi bus, this is what qcom
have, this would
  be the 19.2 MHz clock signal.
- one clock to drive the logic block for the PHY itself, if it is
included within
  the same logical portion of an SoC as the ufshcd, but uses a separate clock.
- Looking at the Android kernel as distributed by google/qualcomm, they have
  four separate clocks described as

    PHY to controller symbol synchronization clocks:
        "rx_lane0_sync_clk" - RX Lane 0
        "rx_lane1_sync_clk" - RX Lane 1
        "tx_lane0_sync_clk" - TX Lane 0
        "tx_lane1_sync_clk" - TX Lane 1

Which of the above would your phy_clk refer to?
