What about the other rpmb operations?
There are 7 operations in eMMC.

Why not just list_for_each_entry instead?

In addition to the dev_id, wouldn't it make sense to have your own IDA as well?

The use of the term "rpmb descriptor" may be slightly misleading.
This is because in UFS there are various descriptors that identifies various characteristics,
e.g. device descriptor, geometry descriptor, unit descriptor etc.,
and recently UFS4.0 introduced a new descriptor - RPMB descriptor....
