Sure.

is_sys_suspended and is_wlu_sys_suspended only represent system PM 
status,
not runtime PM status.

My understanding is that user threads are frozen before system PM 
starts,
so it does not matter we call  ufshcd_is_user_access_allowed() before or
after ufshcd_rpm_get_sync().

If my understanding is wrong, then we need to either call 
lock_system_sleep()
in get_user_access() or wrap 
ufshcd_suspend_prepare/ufshcd_resume_complete()
with host_sem.
