Hi Viresh,

In general this looks reasonable and matches how the UFS gears should be
modeled. It does not match how UFS drivers implemented the clock
scaling, but that's the internal problem of UFS drivers. They scale the
clocks only max or min, even though there are multiple gears in between.
The new approach looks therefore appropriate.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
