Hi Alim 

 Yes you can, by writing the configuration descriptor.

Applied to 5.3/scsi-queue. Thanks!

Hello Arthur,

Very glad to see the ufs-tool coming to light! I will try to give it a 
run as soon as I get free time slot.

The "maintenance" of the tool will be through github, correct? 
I took a fast look at the Bean Huo pull request (especially the UniPro 
command part) and it would be very useful, if I get the time to test it 
should I mention that in the github pull-request?

Thank you,
Pedro Sousa

Hi, Pedro
Thanks for your positive affirmation. 
For the UFS, we need this kind of tool which is be exclusively used for UFS device.

Two years ago, I asked the question about " UFS utilities" and " is it necessary to have a ufs-utils tool?" in SCSI mail list. 
In the end, I suffered a rebuff, was rejected.

                                                     --Bean Huo
