Here is a proposal to use a bsg endpoint to manage ufs devices.
We will do that by adding a bsg device node to the ufs driver,
and use it to send UPIU transactions to the ufs device.
It will serve as a ufs device management infrastructure,
for device configuration, provisioning, testing and validation, etc.
We added a new ufs-bsg module, and some new API to the ufs driver.
For the time being, we will not use it for data transfer,
but just for device management per-se.
This has nothing to do with the recent removal of bsg read/write
support, we might add this capability in the future,
but it is not our current focus.
We tested it on a Hikey-960 platform with a V4.14 kernel,
"modernized" by recent bsg and ufs patches.
We also used a htc11 with a V4.4 kernel, but needed much more
transport/bsg/ufs patches to make it relevant.
V2->v3:
We dropped the scsi transport code (and changed this patch title
to account for it) as we actually just need the bsg device node.
We also withdraw (brokenhearted) from our intension to create
several bsg devices, and add just one.
Rephrased the doc in Kconfig.
V1->v2:
Use inline functions instead of defines, and ida to obtain the
port indices, in scsi_transport_ufs module.
Remove the closing data pointer and __packed notation from
struct ufs_bsg_{request_reply}.
Re-use ufshcd_issue_tm_cmd code - needed a couple of patches for that,
and call req_upiu and rsp_upio with their appropriate struct pointers.
Use a more appropriate name when checking if enough memory
was allocated for write descriptor, and remove redundant goto.
Add reference to the spec to explain uic command size.
Fix a lot of typos.
