Then why can't you send the change at that time?
We use the Android GKI kernel and any patches must be sent upstream
first before these can be considered for inclusion in the GKI kernel.
But that's the same requirement for other SoC vendors as well. Anyway, these
don't justify the fact that the core code should be modified to workaround a
controller defect. Please use quirks as like other vendors.
Let me repeat what I mentioned earlier:
* Introducing a new quirk without introducing a user for that quirk is
not acceptable because that would involve introducing code that is
dead code from the point of view of the upstream kernel.
* The UFS driver core is already complicated. If we don't need a new
quirk we shouldn't introduce a new quirk.
