>Description:
The use of FS_UFS2_MAGIC is problematic since the introduction of FS_UFS2EA_MAGIC. There are several cases where comparisons are made against FS_UFS2_MAGIC to select "UFS2 behavior". But of course, here is now a second UFS2 magic number which also should select the UFS2 behavior, but the comparison does not include it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
Probably invert the test (test for non-equality against the UFS1 magic number). And maybe wrap it in a macro or something.
