Some of these sound rather generic and might apply to UFS implementations
other than hi3660, so I'd suggest adding them to the base ufs binding with
a generic name instead.

Any DT properties that might be useful across multiple implementations
should be parsed in generic code that gets called by the individual
drivers,
and then the properties that are specific to the integration work done by
hisilicon should be prefixed with "hisilicon,", but not normally with the
SoC name: it is quite possible that another SoC will be derived from this
chip and it should reuse the properties.


I do not know wheher other SoC need to use the optional properties as
abover. So here the name of the optional properties has "hi3660".

They should not have "hi3660" in their names either way, independent
of where they are used.

Oh, change the "hi3660" to "hisilicon"?
e.g. ufs-hi3660-use-rate-B --> ufs-hisilicon-use-rate-B

(note: this is different from the value of the "compatible" property that
is meant to be as specific as possible".

Also, please clarify how your binding relates to the ufshcd binding
in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ufs/ufshcd-pltfrm.txt: does
hi3660 implement any registers that are shared with ufshcd, or does
it use the same physical interface with a different register set?

No, only show how to use the dt-binding for hi3660 SoC

My question was about the hardware: does hi3660 implement ufshcd
or not?

YES
