RE: [PATCH 0/7] Enable UFS provisioning via Linux

[Stanislav Nijnikov <Stanislav.Nijnikov@wdc.com>]

Hi Evan,
I have some generic notes:
- Why to create new sysfs entries for the configuration descriptor fields if they are just duplication of fields in the device and unit descriptors? And the sysfs representation of the device and unit descriptors is existing already.
- It would be nice to have some "packet" mode allowing to gather configuration changes and apply them at once, not one by one.
- Why to put documentation update in the separate patches?

Regards
Stanislav
