> In the "LU dedicated buffer" mode, the WriteBooster Buffer is dedicated to a
> logical unit.
> 
> If the device supports the "LU dedicated buffer" mode, this mode is configured
> by setting bWriteBoosterBufferType to 00h. The logical unit WriteBooster Buffer
> size is configured by setting the dLUNumWriteBoosterBufferAllocUnits field of
> the related Unit Descriptor. Only a value greater than zero enables the

> Note that according to UFS 3.1 specification, the valid value of
> bDeviceMaxWriteBoosterLUs parameter in Geometry Descriptor is 1, which
> means at most one LUN can have WriteBooster buffer in "LU dedicated buffer
> mode". Therefore this patch supports only one LUN with WriteBooster enabled.
> All WriteBooster related sysfs nodes are specifically mapped to the LUN with
> WriteBooster enabled in LU Dedicated buffer mode.
