Hi Stanley and Can

I just sent a new patch to address this issue, let's discusss in that
patch set, I added PM maintainer in the mail as well to help us address
concern about pm_runtime_get_sync and shutdown flow. If that way can
fix this issue, then I will update this patch again.

one note:

I didn't add "if (!ufshcd_is_ufs_dev_active(hba) ||
!ufshcd_is_link_active(hba))" checkup, since sysfs node access is a
normal request as well, UFS driver should give correct response as
possbile as it can, even if device/link is lower power mode.

Thanks,
Bean
