I still think we should do this properly here. From looking at the qcom driver, it seems to me that the integration there was done in a way that could not work at all: $ git grep -w ufs_hba_qcom_vops drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c: * struct ufs_hba_qcom_vops - UFS QCOM specific variant operations drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:static const struct ufs_hba_variant_ops ufs_hba_qcom_vops = { drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-qcom.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ufs_hba_qcom_vops); In short, nothing references the ufs_hba_qcom_vops symbol, so the driver is never used, and if it did, it would not work for ufs being built-in beause the symbol is marked 'static'. Please do the samsung front-end as I suggested and send a patch to convert the qcom front-end the same way. No need to test that one as the current approach doesn't work.
