I'm sorry Sriharsha has not yet responded but I can confirm that this
PHY driver would only be specific to Qualcomm SoCs simply because of our
custom register mapping used to control and initialize it. These are
only defined as as HW signals by the Synopsys IP, which have been
synthesized to map to our own IO register space. So really it can be
treated as just a "Qualcomm USB PHY" with acknowledgement that the core
design is licensed from SNPS.

Thanks,
Jack
