Somehow I've missed that answer, now I got back when search for comments before I'll post a new series.

I've actually tried to do  a midlayer, but I found it's too UFS specific, so there is no point to this abstraction.  
As not all needed data are accessible via scsi calls.  The solution I propose fits with what is done in eMMC (emmc specific  IOCTL).
There is already some code that breaks that layering in  ufshcd_set_dev_pwr_mode when talking to the special sdev_ufs.
Maybe I need more hint for the correct directions.

If it can't we won't

If you have more constructive comments, I'll be glad to hear and address. 

Thanks
