As has been made clear several times recently during discussions around
LSF/MM topics, implementing all features of a standard is *not* one of the
goals of the Linux kernel. Whether a feature is defined in the NVMe, a SCSI
or the UFS standard, we (Linux kernel community) only support those features
that we consider useful and that can be implemented with a reasonable effort.
An example of a feature that probably will never be supported by the Linux
kernel is the "domains and realms" functionality from ZBC-2.

Thanks, I had overlooked this. Do you agree that the above shows that the
flag I proposed in my previous email (UFSHCD_CAP_SINGLE_CQ) is sufficient
to support the MediaTek use case? I want to keep the SQ-CQ association code
in the UFS driver core because the next step will probably to switch from
one CQ per SQ to one CQ per CPU core for UFS controllers that support
multiple completion interrupts.

Thanks,

Bart.
