Seems there is something misunderstood, I want to use UPIU, rather than CDB.
Maybe it is not possible based on current UFS stacks. Of course, exactly, 
there is no missing SCSI command listed in UFS 2.1.

To be honest, I don't know which interface, it can pass UPIU to UFS driver,
And bypass SCSI stacks.
