I'm pretty sure we've discussed it before, but can you make this so that the generic properties are part of the ufshcd binding, and you refer to it from here, only describing in what ways the hisi ufs binding differs from the standard?

The clock names sound generic enough, should we have both in the generic binding?

Do you mean that add a "phy_clk" to ufshcd-pltfrm 's bindings? 
At present, it seems that in the implementation of generic code, apart from "ref_clk" may have special processing, other clk will not have special processing and simply parse and enable;
Referring to ufs-qcom binding, I think "phy_clk" can be named "iface_clk", this "iface_clk" exists in ufshcd-pltfrm bindings;If so, "ref_clk", "iface_clk" are both in the generic binding,we will remove them here. Is that okay?

This looks incomplete. What is the name of the reset line supposed to be?
I'd also suggest you document it in the ufshcd binding instead.

The "rst" corresponds to reset the whole UFS IP, and " arst " only reset the APB/AXI bus. Discussed with our soc colleagues that "arst" is assert by default and needs to deassert .
But I think it may be difficult to add this to common code, or it may not be necessary; 
Other manufacturers may not need to do this soc init because they probably already done in the bootloader phase. Even if they need to do it, it's probably different from us.
We need to make sure that our ufs works even if not do soc init during the bootloader phase.
