Hi Can,

Since this patch has been applied on the AOSP kernel we see 100%
reproducible lockups appearing on multiple test setups. Examples of call
traces:

blk_execute_rq()
__scsi_execute()
sd_sync_cache()
sd_suspend_common()
sd_suspend_system()
scsi_bus_suspend()
__device_suspend()

blk_execute_rq()
__scsi_execute()
ufshcd_clear_ua_wlun()
ufshcd_err_handling_unprepare()
ufshcd_err_handler()
process_one_work()

Reverting this patch and the next patch from this series solved the
lockups. Do you prefer to revert this patch or do you perhaps want us to
test a potential fix?

Thanks,

Bart.
