This tuning difference is truly associated with the SoC itself?  Are
you sure?  Are the two different PHYs in the SoC somehow using
different silicon processes?  ...or is one close to another IP block
that is noisy?  ...or something else to account for this difference?

It seems more likely that this tuning difference is associated with
the board.  If you're _certain_ this is really due to internal SoC
differences you'll have to come up with some darn good evidence to
convince me...


If the tuning is truly associated with the board then:

1. You should have a single device tree compatible string.  IMHO it
should contain the name of the SoC in it, so "qcom,sdm845-qusb2-phy".
It's generally OK to name something in Linux using the name of the
first thing that happened to support it in Linux (even if later
processors use the exact same component).  Leaving it as just
"qcom,qusb2-v2-phy" is OK with me too if that's what everyone wants.


2. You should figure out how to describe the needed board-to-board
tuning in device tree.

The only two differences you have right now are:

QUSB2PHY_IMP_CTRL1: 0 => 0x8
QUSB2PHY_PORT_TUNE1: 0x30 => 0x48

I'm not sure I found all the correct documentation for the PHY (the
docs I have say that "TUNE1" bit 3 is "reserved") so I can't come up
with all of these for you.  But I think I found the difference
accounting for the upper nybble of TUNE1 changing from 0x3 to 0x4.
For this, I think you'd want a device tree property like:

qcom,hstx_trim_mv

...and the values of that property would be the values from 800 to 950
in 8 steps, or [800, 821, 842, 864, 885, 907, 928, 950].

You'd want to do similar things for the other differences.

You don't need to encode every possible difference right now.  When
you come up with something that needs to be different you add a new
optional device tree property (defaulting to whatever the driver used
to do) to describe your new property.
