Hi Avri, 

in Spec:

"If the Block Count indicates a value greater than bRPMB_ReadWriteSize,
then the authenticated data write/read operation fails and the Result
is set to “General failure” (0001h)."


I think this should be checked in the application in userspace because
if the application passes a wrong/incorrect payload length, it will
error out and have no effect on UFS. In order to add this check in a
driver in the kernel, we need to maintain bRPMB_ReadWriteSize in kernel
space. Sometimes this is a waste of resources because we don't know if
the client will access the RPMB.

I have enabled Advanced RPMB feature in the ufs-utils as an example,
will be refered in cover-letter in the next version.

Kind regards,
Bean
