I don't see how can you tell that the two works are running in parallel
just from above trace. May I know what is the exact error by "UFS 
timeout
when doing hibern8"?

By using __ufshcd_release() here, I do see one potential issue if your 
test
quickly toggles on/off of clk_gating - disable it, enable it, disable it 
and
enable it, which will cause that __ufshcd_release() being called twice, 
meaning
we queue two gate_works back to back. So can you try below code and let 
me know
if it helps or not? I am OK with your current change, but I would like 
to
understand the problem. Thanks.
