My best guess is, VDDQ_UFS20_RESET supply to reset logic block inside HCI, which might be specific to this controller version (I did not find any such supply in the latest host controller though).

The bindings specific to Exynos7 UFS are then incomplete.  Anyway it's
nothing worth revisiting so I applied both patches.
