Yap, I will remove it in next version.

Both auto-bkops and WriteBooster flush during Hibern8 need device power
mode to be "Active Power Mode".

For auto-bkops, the spec mentions,

"If the background operations enable bit is set and the device is in
Active power mode or Idle power mode, then the device is allowed to
execute any internal operations."

For WriteBooster flush during Hibern8, the spec mentions,

"While the flushing operation is in progress, the device is in Active
power mode."

Therefore here we can use an unified "keep_curr_dev_pwr_mode" to
indicate the same requirements of above both features.

Besides, both operations may access flash array inside UFS device thus
VCC supply shall be also kept.

Before this patch, the original code will keep device power mode (stay
in Active Power Mode) if hba->auto_bkops_enabled is set as true during
runtime-suspend with UFSHCD_CAP_AUTO_BKOPS_SUSPEND capability is
enabled. This patch will not change this decision, just add
"WriteBooster flush during Hibern8" feature as another condition to do
so.

Thank you so much to remind me that "Link shall be put in Hibern8" is a
necessary condition for "WriteBooster flush during Hibern8". I will add
more checking for keep_curr_dev_pwr_mode to prevent unnecessary power
drain.

This is a good point!

The same thing also happens for auto-bkops. How about add a timer to
leave runtime suspend if keep_curr_dev_pwr_mode is set as true? This is
simple and also favors power. The timeout value could be adjustable
according to the available WriteBooster buffer size.

A periodic interval checking of flush status needs to re-activate link
to communicate with the device. This would be tricky and the
re-activation flow is just like runtime-resume.

What would you think?

Thanks.
