Ok, thanks. I'll go with a common prefix per PHY type for now, and we
can worry about hypothetical hardware revisions later.

I'll use a "QMP_USB43DP_" prefix for the new SC8280XP binding, which can
be reused also for the older SoCs with USB3-DP PHYs if/when we convert
them as their indexes will be a subset of the SC8280XP ones:

	/* QMP USB4-USB3-DP clocks */
	#define QMP_USB43DP_USB3_PIPE_CLK	0
	#define QMP_USB43DP_DP_LINK_CLK		1
	#define QMP_USB43DP_DP_VCO_DIV_CLK	2

Since I'm adding a new header anyway, I decided to go with dedicated
indexes also for the PHY selection (instead of using the PHY_TYPE
defines):

	/* QMP USB4-USB3-DP PHYs */
	#define QMP_USB43DP_USB3_PHY		0
	#define QMP_USB43DP_DP_PHY		1

I'll add these to a common dt-bindings/phy/phy-qcom-qmp.h header so that
it can be used also for the UFS clocks (with a "QMP_UFS_" prefix).
