For short-term, could this patch series be merged without "vcc" related
property defined in dt-bindings (like PATCH V5 does)? Or using
"vcc-supply" along with "vcc-fixed-regulator" with a detailed
explanation can be accepted?

ufs-mediatek can work fine without "vcc" related property but with a
limitation that driver cannot control "vcc" power which is enabled
by-default on MediaTek chipsets.

For long-term, it seems to me that "<name>-fixed-regulator" can be
removed from both dt-bindings and UFS driver without impact, even for
downstream usage found by Marc.

If "<name>-fixed-regulator" property is defined in device tree, such
regulator will skip "current limit" assignment from
"<name>-max-microamp" property, and voltage range assignment from
"vcc-supply-lp8" property (for vcc, vccq, and vccq2 only). If driver can
handle above both cases correctly, "<name>-fixed-regulator" can be
removed.

In MediaTek chipsets, "vcc-supply" can ignore above two properties.
However if "vcc-fixed-regulator" is not added, driver will get fail
during device tree probing due to undefined "vcc-max-microamp".

If our target is removing "<name>-fixed-regulator", we could try to fix
and resolve above all. And if we do not merge "vcc" related property
this time, after that we can add "vcc-supply" back to dt-bindings to
provide vcc control capability in ufs-mediatek driver.

Would you please provide any suggestions?
