Great minds think alike :) Actually, we already did all that: we introduced a new bsg companion to the ufs driver, To support the very exactly ufs-utils. It was merged in 4.20. You can look it up using "scsi: Add ufs bsg endpoint". We also have a supplementary short series, see https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg127370.html. We are about to publish ufs-utils in the coming days.
Thanks, Avri
