I see redundancy while setting the phy_gear and it is leading to confusion.
In ufs_qcom_set_host_params(), first you are setting phy_gear based on
ufs_qcom_get_hs_gear(), then changing it again with the version check for v5.

I don't see a necessity for "host->phy_gear = host_params->hs_tx_gear", since in
the later check, you are covering both version <5 and >=5.

Btw, it would be better to move this logic to a separate function like
ufs_qcom_get_phy_gear() to align with ufs_qcom_get_hs_gear().
