We do.

The issue raised is that some SSDs still increment the unexpected
power loss count even after clean shutdown sequence and that the
kernel should wait for some secs before powering off.

We can do that for select devices but I want something more than "this
SMART counter is getting incremented" before doing that.

Thanks.
