Bart,

Very interested in this design. I'm assuming you're still going to
continue parsing SCSI commands. Can we also shorten the UFS command
path?

Meaning we convert block requests directly to UFS UPIU commands?
instead of like the current one: block request -> CDB -> UPIU.

I'll take a look at its design, it seems to give us hope that we can
make the UFS stack more vertical.

Kind regards,
Bean
