Hi Alex,
Thanks for your feedback.

We now access UFS RPMB through the RPMB LUN BSG device, RPMB is a well-
known LU and we have a userspace tool to access it.

I see that if we're going to use your interface, "static struct
rpmb_ops" should be registered from a lower-level driver, for example
in a UFS driver, yes there should be no problem with this registration,
but I don't know with the current way Compared, what are the advantages
to add a driver. maybe the main advantage is that we will have an
unified user space tool for RPMB. right?

Kind regards,
Bean
