OK.

OK.

We see that user can still access UFS sysfs during shutdown if shutdown
is invoked by: reboot -f, hence the check.

is_sys_suspended indicates that system resume failed (power/clk is OFF).

hba->is_wlu_sys_suspended indicates that wl system resume failed, device
is not operational.

Yes, which is why ufshcd_get_user_access() acquires host_sem first and
checks the OPERATOINAL flag here. host_sem shall make sure that user
space accesses should be blocked until error handling has finished.
