Sorry for the delay, I was travelling last week.

One more thing I just noticed: you don't describe the device as compatible with
the ufshcd spec as defined in the generic binding. Shouldn't we have
both compatible
strings listed here?

I'm not sure I understand here. Do you mean the reset handle is for
resetting the PHY rather than the UFS HCD?

ok

Thanks.

>> The reset handling you describe here (both resets and reset-gpios) appears to be completely generic, so I'd suggest adding those to ufshcd-pltfrm.txt instead of your own binding, to ensure that future drivers use the same identifiers.

It seems odd that the ability to reset a device is specific to your
implementation. What I meant is
that other implementations may also require a reset, so describing the
way you refer to this
into the generic binding would be helpful, to prevent others from
adding another incompatible
way to do the same thing.

A lot of generic bindings have a reference to a reset controller that
if present needs to
be used before first accessing the device itself.

Ok.
