Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] ufs: sysfs: read-only access to device descriptors, attributes and flags

This patch introduces sysfs entries that will provide read-only access to
device management data that could be received with UFS query requests.
User-space applications will be able to read UFS device descriptors,
flags and attributes. This will allow to get full UFS device configuration
and its status. The descriptors are provided as set of files representing
its parameters. The flags are using "true"/"false" representation of
their value. The attributes are shown as hexadecimal value. The
descriptors, attributes and flags are placed in separate subfolders under
the UFS device sysfs entry (/sys/bus/platform/drivers/ufshcd/*/). The
string descriptor subfolder contains five string descriptors defined by
UFS specification 2.1. The LUN specific descriptor and attribute are 
placed under corresponding SCSI device sysfs entries
(/sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/).
In addition the patch presents an additional field in the
scsi_host_template structure - struct attribute_group **sdev_group.
This field allows to define groups of attributes. It will provide an
ability to use binary attributes in addition to device attributes and
to group them under subfolders if necessary.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3
The Makefile is updated to make ufs-sysfs.c part of the ufshcd module.
The unnecessary EXPORT_SYMBOL were removed
Added a legal info header to the new files
The date in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-ufs was updated.

v1 -> v2
Provided additional description for the changes
