Reading registers is really helpful for debugging to check if host UIC
command register really received the command before.

But the original requesting UIC command shall be logged in trace so
ucmd->command is logged during "send", and the command in register is
read and logged during "completed". Then we could simply check them to
know if something wrong while sending the command.

This concept is similar as current UTP command trace events that
doorbell register is read and dumped in the trace.

As above same reason, reading registers can know which arguments are
exactly sent to the device.

This is very helpful for fast issue breakdown if UIC command is not
responded under expectation.

Here, we also really want to keep the original requesting arguments from
"ucmd", just like UIC command. However, arguments in register will be
changed after UIC command is done so we can not do the same way as UIC
command. So a compromise is here that we logged the arguments which host
register exactly received in trace.

For "send", we would like to log the time as precise as possible so
"send" event is logged while UIC command is sent.

Thanks so much! Your question reminds me that "send" trace shall be
moved before UIC command is sent otherwise register value may be changed
before logging "send" trace. I will fix this in next version.

For "completed", to make logging time as closed to UIC command
completion as possible, maybe I need to change the logging timing to
ufshcd_uic_cmd_compl(), just like UTP command completion trace which is
logged in __ufshcd_transfer_reg_compl().

If you have no objection, I will try to fix this in next version.

My original thought is to log some exceptions, like "-ETIMEDOUT" in
"result". But if I changed "completion" trace handling to interrupt
handler, there will be no chance to log those exceptions. This is OK
because UTP trace is exactly behave this way: No completion event in
trace if request is not back. And if this way is implemented, "result"
is definitely redundant and shall be removed.
