Hi Stanley,

Above description is correct. The reason why the UFS device becomes
Active after the 1st link startup in your experiment is due to you
set spm_lvl to 5, during system suspend, UFS device is powered down.
When resume kicks start, the UFS device is power cycled once.

Moreover, if you set rpm_lvl to 5, during runtime suspend, if bkops is
enabled, the UFS device will not be powered off, meaning when runtime
resume kicks start, the UFS device is not power cycled, in this case,
we need 3 times of link startup.

Does above explain?

Thanks,

Can Guo.
