Linux's ufshcd-pci as the Universal Flash Storage host controller PCI driver has supported a variety of Intel devices to this point while for Linux 7.2 the first AMD device is set to be added...
Ongoing development in the Linux kernel constantly introduces support for new hardware, and AMD's market presence necessitates its inclusion over time.
This signifies AMD's growing hardware ecosystem presence and parity with Intel in foundational software support for essential components like storage controllers.
AMD-based systems will achieve more robust and native Universal Flash Storage (UFS) performance and compatibility within the Linux environment.
