I think the above patch shows that indicating failure by either
returning a positive or a negative value is a booby trap. Please modify
ufshcd_send_request_sense() and ufshcd_set_dev_pwr_mode() such that
these return a value that is either zero or negative. Are there any
other functions than that need to be modified?

Thanks,

Bart.
