Ok.

Yes, this sounds good. We can probably skip one of the middle layers,
but basically that is what I was looking for.

The tc-dwc-g210 portion probably shouldn't depend on both
ufshcd-dwc-pltfrm and ufshcd-dwc-pci here, so how about leaving
those two out?


Then it becomes

   tc-dwc-g210-pci ---> tc-dwc-g210 --> ufshcd-dwc --> ufs
tc-dwc-g210-pltfrm --/

Right. With module_param() helper, this will be either a boot command
line option, or a module load option, depending on whether the driver
is built-on or not.

modprobe tc-dwc-g210-pci tc_type=20

command line: tc-dwc-g210-pci.tc_type=20

I think we can now remove the config option for the hooks as well.

This would work, but I think it's better to define the options in terms
of the top-level drivers, i.e. SCSI_UFS_DWC_TC_PCI and SCSI_UFS_DWC_TC_PLATFORM,
and then make the other options hidden and implicitly turned out by them.
