Actually, the main motivation for adding 'hw_type' is to avoid reading 
'reg_base' from DT for SSBI_VIB. It can also help to simplify the 
'pm8xxx_vib_data' structure and make following code logic more 
straightforward and easier to understand(check hw_type instead of 
checking specific constant reg/mask value), it has been used in 
following places:

   1) Avoid reading 'reg_base' from DT for SSBI_VIB.
   2) Only do manual-mode-mask-write for SSBI_VIB. Previously, it was 
achieved by giving a valid 'drv_en_manual_mask' value only for SSBI_VIB, 
having hw_type make it more straightforward.
   3) Not writing VIB_EN register for SSBI_VIB. A similar strategy was 
used previously, only write VIB_EN register when 'enable_mask' is valid, 
  checking hw_type make it more straightforward.
   4) To achieve different drive step size for SPMI_VIB （100mV per step) 
and SPMI_VIB_GEN2 (1mV per step).
   5) Do different VIB_DRV mask and shift assignment for SPMI_VIB and 
SPMI_VIB_GEN2
   6) Only write VIB_DRV2 for SPMI_VIB_GEN2.
