Hi Mani. How about following commit message

MHI channel state is protected by mhi_chan->lock. Hence, after core drops
mhi_chan->lock during processing xfer event, it can not prevent channel
state being changed if client closes channel or driver is removed at this
time. So let's check mhi channel state after getting chan->lock again to 
avoid
queuing buffer to a disabled channel in xfer callback and stop processing
event of the disabled channel.
