What I mentioned was how it can be handled when we mount rootfs directly from kernel.

1) kernel -> initramfs (mount root) -> systemd
2) kernel (mount root) -> systemd
 -> In this case, we normally use root=/dev/sda1 from kernel commandline to mount the rootfs.

Like fstab can support legacy node mount, ufs driver also needs to provide an option for using the permanent legacy node. If you're really worry about adding a new codes for all UFS driver, we can put this as controller specific or optional feature.
