>From the customer side piont, they just get our FW image, and then do
FFU. If adding a quirk here, that means they also need to change UFS

from cambridge dictionary: 
Qurik: 
	an unusual habit or part of someone's personality, or something
	that
is strange and unexpected.

HPB feature is unexpected??


please tell me the useful point of adding a Quirk.
