Merge patch series "scsi: ufs: Allow RTT negotiation"

Avri Altman <avri.altman@wdc.com> says:

The rtt-upiu packets precede any data-out upiu packets, thus synchronizing
the data input to the device: this mostly applies to write operations, but
there are other operations that requires rtt as well.

There are several rules binding this rtt - data-out dialog, specifically
There can be at most outstanding bMaxNumOfRTT such packets.  This might
have an effect on write performance (sequential write in particular), as
each data-out upiu must wait for its rtt sibling.

UFSHCI expects bMaxNumOfRTT to be min(bDeviceRTTCap, NORTT). However, as of
today, there does not appear to be no-one who sets it: not the host
controller nor the driver.  It wasn't an issue up to now: bMaxNumOfRTT is
set to 2 after manufacturing, and wasn't limiting the write performance.

UFS4.0, and specifically gear 5 changes this, and requires the device to be
more attentive.  This doesn't come free - the device has to allocate more
resources to that end, but the sequential write performance improvement is
significant. Early measurements shows 25% gain when moving from rtt 2 to
9. Therefore, set bMaxNumOfRTT to be min(bDeviceRTTCap, NORTT) as UFSHCI
expects.
