In all your cases, especially after this adjustment, 
ufshcd_vops_full_reset is called blindly (+error checking message) 
before ufshcd_vops_device_reset. What about dropping the .full_reset 
(should really have been called .hw_reset or .host_reset) addition to 
the vops, just adding ufshcd_vops_device_reset call here before 
ufshcd_host_reset_and_restore, and in the driver folding the 
ufshcd_vops_full_reset code into the .device_reset handler?

Would that be workable? It would be simpler if so.

I can see a desire for the heads up 
(ufshcd_vops_full_reset+)ufshcd_vops_device_reset calls before 
ufshcd_host_reset_and_restore because that function will spin 10 seconds 
waiting for a response from a standardized register, that itself could 
be hardware locked up requiring product specific reset procedures. But 
if that is the case, then what about all the other calls to 
ufshcd_host_reset_and_restore in this file that are not provided the 
heads up? My guess is that the host device only demonstrated issues in 
the ufshcd_link_recovery handling path? Are you sure this is the only 
path that tickles the controller into a hardware lockup state?
