[PATCH v5 2/2] ufs: rpmb: use a fixed-length RPMB dev_id

From: Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz

Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 15:19:44 EST


The RPMB authentication key is derived from the dev_id handed to the
RPMB subsystem. OP-TEE implements the eMMC RPMB flow, where the dev_id
is the eMMC CID: a fixed 16-byte value the key derivation depends on.

The UFS RPMB id is "<device_id>-R<region>", which is variable length
and longer than 16 bytes. Handing it to the RPMB subsystem as-is would
tie the derived key to a length OP-TEE does not expect and diverge from
the fixed-CID eMMC ABI, forcing OP-TEE to be taught about
variable-length UFS ids.

A fixed 16-byte dev_id is needed so the derived key stays stable and
unique per region while matching the eMMC CID layout OP-TEE relies on,
keeping the key-derivation ABI identical with no OP-TEE change. The
reduction to a fixed 16 bytes must also be reproducible by the
bootloaders (such as U-Boot) that derive the same dev_id.
