The purpose of this optional feature is to provide notification to the host of the UFS device case temperature. It allows reading of a rough estimate (+-10 degrees centigrade) of the current case temperature, and setting a lower and upper temperature bounds, in which the device will trigger an applicable exception event. A previous attempt [1] tried a comprehensive approach. Still, it was unsuccessful. Here is a more modest approach that introduces just the bare minimum to support temperature notification.
