This comment wasn't well thought through. So I hand another look at the
code of usf-qcom.

I noticed that the single thing ufs-qcom exports is "struct
ufs_hba_qcom_vops". But that's unused in next-20150520:
    $ git grep -nw ufs_hba_qcom_vops
    drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:999: * struct ufs_hba_qcom_vops - UFS QCOM specific variant operations
    drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:1004:static const struct ufs_hba_variant_ops ufs_hba_qcom_vops = {
    drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:1016:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ufs_hba_qcom_vops);

So it's not used by code outside of ufs-qcom.c. Probably because it
can't actually be used by outside code. It's not mentioned in any public
header and it's even static!

Am I missing something obvious here? Because ufs-qcom currently looks
pointless to me, and I actually see little reason to even have it in the
mainline tree.
