sorry, I'm afraid I didn't quite get your point here.
would you go over it again in detail please?

On my side, I saw the Well-know LU descriptor is read before
regulaer/normal LU descritptor. see ufshcd_add_lus();

I did further debug to verify my patch, and the unit descriptor read
sequence:

1. read RPMB descriptor: desc_id 2, desc_index 0xc4
2. read LU 0 descriptor: desc_id 2, desc_index 0
3. read LU 0 descriptor: desc_id 2, desc_index 1
4. read LU 0 descriptor: desc_id 2, desc_index 2
5. read LU 0 descriptor: desc_id 2, desc_index 4
....

so, this 'if' is still needed. otherwise, LU descriptor length will be
initialized as 0x23(RPMB descriptor length).

if I am wrong, please correct me.
thanks,
