Last time, I asked which issue is fixed by this patch, but
never get answered, so again, what is issue fixed by
this patch?

Given the following patches for making SCSI quiesce safe
is required in either PM suspend/resume or other path
of transport_spi revalidate. So once theses patches are
in, I don't see any I/O hang in suspend/resume given
the SCSI quiesce issue is very specific one, and not
see this issue on other kind of device.

Thanks,
