I know that on Cadence UFS controller L4 attributes are definitely lost
on hibernation entry/exit and therefore needs to be restored. But not
sure of other controllers. If this issue is seen on other controllers as
well, then we should probably consider moving this code to core driver
so that there is code reuse.
