Hi Sriram,

  QMP indicates the driver name "QMP Phy" (for super speed mode of 
operation), not the company name. If this property is for identification 
of fw management to be done / (or not to be done) in QMP Phy, then 
please rename is appropriately. Check how other properties are defined 
in the QMP bindings and add "qcom" at beginning preferably. For 
reference as to how properties were added to femto phy driver: [1].
