Enable the Force Unit Access (FUA) bit in SCSI WRITE10 commands to
ensure writes bypass the device's volatile cache and go directly to
non-volatile storage. This provides write-through behavior without
requiring explicit cache flushes after each write operation.
Remove the SYNC_CACHE command that was being issued after every
scsi_write() call, as it is redundant when FUA is enabled and was
causing system hangs during large sparse image flashing operations.

Balaji,
The patch introducing explicit SYNC_CACHE made quite a few more
changes, I would recommend including a full revert of that in your
patch (and properly referencing the commit in question!).
Did a full revert of the "scsi: sync cache on write" commit and then did
the FUA bit change in this v2:

Thanks,
