UFS command means uic/dme commands?.
AFAIK, many uic/dme commands need pre/post operation of SoC related.
So, it would be need modify sg3-utils or another.

Therefore, IMHO, I don't know why we need it. But if you still want
it, You'll be need to modify/create user application and modified ufs
driver for your needs.

About vendor command, it's vendor specific.
It'll be possible to support by sg3-utils. And it need modify too.

As i knew, in case of FFU, it's possible to support by sg_write_buffer.
