The wmb() inside ufshcd_send_command() is added to make sure that the doorbell is committed immediately.
That's not the purpose of the wmb() call so I think the comment is wrong.
This leads to couple of expectations: 1. The doorbell write should complete before the function return. 2. The doorbell write should not cross the function boundary. 2nd expectation is fullfilled by the Linux memory model as there is a guarantee that the critical section won't cross the unlock (release) operation.
I think you meant that the writel() won't cross the unlock operation?
