Add more history here - before Stanley's change (see below), 
platform_set_drvdata()
is called AFTER pm_runtime_enable(), which was why we needed sanity 
checks of !hba.
But now the sanity checks are unnecessary in 
ufshcd_RUNTIME_suspend/resume(), so
feel free to remove them.

But still, things are a bit different for 
ufshcd_SYSTEM_suspend/resume(), we need
the sanity checks of !hba there if my understanding is correct.
