Ok, understood. It becomes simpler without the pltfm and pci "middle layer".

Right, that was the idea.

config SCSI_UFS_DWC
	bool

config SCSI_UFS_DWC_TC_PLATFORM
 	tristate "DesignWare platform support using a G210 Test Chip"
 	depends on SCSI_UFSHCD_PLATFORM
	select SCSI_UFS_DWC
 	---help---
 	  Synopsys Test Chip is a PHY for prototyping purposes.

 	  If unsure, say N."

config SCSI_UFS_DWC_TC_PCI
	tristate "DesignWare pci support using a G210 Test Chip"
	depends on SCSI_UFSHCD_PCI
	select SCSI_UFS_DWC
	---help---

I would keep SCSI_UFS_DWC to avoid building DWC specific source everytime.

Agree?
