I agree.  The existing ufs driver can have variant specific operations
(hba->vops) and also can define quirks.  So if DesignWare UFS host
controller requires vendor specific register settings or DME operations
in initialization, or needs special workarounds for the specific versions,
it can use those mechanisms and shares common parts between other host
controllers.
