Thank you Bean

Invokes ufshcd_map_desc_id_to_length from bsg code, still problematic
also in the latest kernel. The function limited the ufs bsg functionality.
For example FBO descriptor published in Jedec UFS 4.0 spec and already exist in some UFS devices.
Or others reserved descriptors (RFU_0/1) which can be used as vendor's descriptor. The function returns len =0
We should be able to read any UFS descriptor of any size (up to QUERY_DESC_MAX_SIZE) or idn.
According to the spec, the device will return the actual size.

The ufs bsg driver should not impose any such limitation. It's one of its design guidelines.
E.g. as done for the attributes, flags the kernel doesn't check it size(for attributes is the max - 4 bytes),
nor access (read/write).
And just returns an appropriate error code should an error occur.

Done
