Hi Bean,

I got this proposal from your side too, after that I've checked with
Leon Ge from your side and he confirmed that it is fine that host
just
ignores the "HPB reset" indication. We can leave it as it is as of
now
and revisit it if any UFS needs extra care. What do you say?

Thanks,
Can Guo.

Hi Can,

Agree. Current handling is ok to us, but if we want to change it, we
hope it is the same with the above suggestion. We can keep current
implementation, seeing if need changes in the near future based on the
feedback or new updates in the Spec.


Sure.

BTW, do you have plans to make the proposal into JEDEC specs?

Thanks,
Can Guo.

Thanks,
Bean
