This indeed works and helps to reduce reboot time. Thanks!
If you decide to resubmit, feel free to ping me to test it.
However I have no knowledge how comments from Adrian can be addressed.

With that patch the reboot time decreases from 60-100 seconds to
~10-20 seconds. The next
"slow" thing is wlan driver which callback is called from
blocking_notifier_call_chain(&reboot_notifier_list, ...) but obviously
it is not a part of ufs code.

Best regards,
