It sounds like you're suggesting that we detect the UFS device using some voltage, then depending on version we might lower it to 2.5V. I'm afraid I don't see any of this either documented or implemented in these patches. What is this initial detection voltage and how to you configure it? Regards, Bjorn > > > > > 2.
