That is a very vague statement. Please clarify.

+AD4- +AD4APg- +ACI-...
+AD4- +AD4APg-  In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class
+AD4- +AD4APg-     introduces two additional (currently empty) class objects:
+AD4- +AD4APg-     +IBw-ufs-host+IB0- and +IBw-ufs-port+IB0-.  There is only one +IBw-ufs-host+IB0- in the
+AD4- +AD4APg-     system, but can be more-than-one +IBw-ufs-ports+IB0-.
+AD4- +AD4APg- 
+AD4- +AD4APg- ...+ACI-
+AD4- 
+AD4- +AD4-Since both the ufs-host and ufs-port objects are empty, can both be left out?
+AD4- But mustn't I declare those classes for the various components of the scsi transport to work?

Are you perhaps referring to the transport+AF8-class+AF8-register() calls in SCSI
transport drivers? From what I see in existing SCSI transport drivers the
transport+AF8-class+AF8-register() function is used to register link, port, host,
vport, rport and other objects. I don't think that a SCSI transport driver
is required to register host and port objects.

Maybe we should take a step back and discuss first why the new bsg queues
are registered by a transport driver? Since in case of UFS as far as I can
see there is no real need to introduce a transport driver other than for
creating the bsg device nodes, have you considered to add the code for
creating bsg device nodes to the UFS driver instead of in a UFS transport
driver? I think transport drivers were introduced as a way to share code
between multiple SCSI LLDs that use the same transport mechanism. In the
case of UFS there is only one SCSI LLD. Hence I'm wondering whether we
really need an UFS transport driver.

Thanks,

Bart.
