Reading a new UFS descriptors will be rejected due to hard coded descriptor definitions
in ufshcd_map_desc_id_to_length invoked from ufs_bsg_get_query_desc_size. 
For example FBO descriptor published in Jedec UFS 4.0 spec and already exist in some UFS devices.
Or others reserved descriptors which can be used as vendor's descriptor.
We should be able to read any UFS descriptor of any size (up to QUERY_DESC_MAX_SIZE).
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.
