Sorry for not giving a proper explanation.
As a design rule, sysfs attribute files should not be used to make persistent modifications
to a device configuration. This rule applies to all subsystems and ufs is no different.

Changing a UFS device configuration can be done using the ufs-bsg framework.
This framework provides a command passthrough interface with the /dev/ufs-bsgX
bsg node. For examples on how to use this, you can see the ufs-utils project:
