>From the downstream kernel that I have, it looks like these are
basically used to define the bandwidth values for each gear/mode in
UFS. My understanding is that the DT folks generally balk at having
configuration data in the device tree. I'm hopeful that we can have a
snippet of code that actually computes the required bandwidth for a
certain combination of gear speed and lanes. But if that is somehow
not possible, this can at worst be a table in code of
bandwidths[gear]. But let's try for the computation first.

Whoops, you're right, the context I was confused about does appear to
be upstream. I was unaware there was dangling code to the old
downstream bus scaling stuff in the upstream kernel. I think we should
get rid of all of that and start fresh.

Also, like the dangling downstream code was, the new stuff should
probably be surrounded by ifdefs for the new interconnect core.

I also think we don't really need the max_bus_bw thing, so when we rip
out all the downstream leftovers we don't need to put that back in.
