Thanks for your explanation, I agree with it.

I found two problems in the current code, but both can be fixed
relatively easily as described below:

1) If ufshcd-pltfrm driver is loaded before ufs-qcom driver,
ufshcd_pltfrm_probe() can't find a ufs_variant device.

In order to trigger re-probing ufs device when ufs-qcom driver has
been loaded, ufshcd_pltfrm_probe() should return -EPROBE_DEFER in
case 'ufs_variant' sub-node exists and no hba->vops found.

2) Nothing prevents ufs-qcom module from being unloaded while the
variant_ops is referenced by ufshcd-pltfrm.

It can be fixed by incrementing module refcount of ufs_variant module
by __module_get(ufs_variant_pdev->dev.driver->owener) in
ufshcd_pltfrm_probe(), and module_put() in ufshcd_pltfrm_remove()
to descrement the refcount.
