UFS devices have a built-in A/B boot mechanism implemented via the "boot well known logical unit" (boot W-LU). This works by marking two of the provisioned LUs with a flag in their unit configuration descriptor, and setting the active boot LU in the whole device's attributes. The device then exposes a special logical unit 0xb0 (the boot W-LU) which is internally aliased to the currently active boot LU (if one is set). It allows reading and writing directly through the 0xb0 LU, but doesn't expose the LU geometry, so it is not quite a full-fledged block device.
Given that the normal use of this mechanism is for symmetric A/B boot, real world scenarios will usually have both W-LU-A and W-LU-B provisioned with identical geometry, so the geometry for the boot W-LU can be inferred from the active boot LU, while its special 0xb0 LUN can still be used for reads and writes to have the device itself abstract away the actual request routing, even when the active boot LU is changed. This series adds support for loading the U-Boot proper from the boot W-LU, allowing to use the native A/B boot mechanism without the need to hardcode the "real" LUN in the SPL configuration. Two classes of prerequisites are handled by the first half of this series before the enablement itself: 1. The SCSI core needs to learn to repeat inquiry requests when they return with a transitive non-zero status, such as the UNIT ATTENTION condition, which the W-LU returns when it's first talked to and which is not an error (patches 1-2) 2. The scan itself needs to learn to look beyond the normal LUN range when the implementation supports W-LUs, as they are numbered above 0x80, and "borrow" the geometry from the physical LU the W-LU is aliased to (patches 3-5) Patches 6-10 are the enablement itself, split by logical parts.
