Indeed. However, the earlier reviews were contrary to this
understanding. Maybe, @Bjorn Andersson can help with more background
on the same.

Although I agree that since this appears mainly in sm8450 and sm8350
dts and is relevant for ufs qmp phy nodes, I can send patches for
cleaning up the dts files instead.

My hunch is that these have been copied over into the qcom dts/dtsi
files from the similar  ones described in [1].
