Tested on Xperia 1 (Griffin) with a small initrd system (sorry, no time to flash a full fledged system!) and boots just fine.
On a note, I would like to bring to the attention of other developers that we actually tried to get informations about the UFS quirks that all Sony devices require, as they seem to be required "on purpose", meaning that it's not a hardware/firmware bug, but rather an intentional "feature", but nobody has been open to give such informations to us, which made us unable to understand what's the best way to address this kind of quirk here on mainline.
If anybody has such informations, or if anybody can give us a hint about how can we properly/cleanly implement the Sony UFS quirks, we're totally open for any kind of suggestion.
Thanks!
