Wouldn't it depend on how much data might be in the cache?
Do you have real-world use-cases where the difference is measurable?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to make it a UFS_DEVICE_QUIRK_
since it presumably depends on the UFS device not the host controller?

Also, as already commented by others, there needs to be a user of
the quirk
