Thanks for the functionality review.
I totally understand what you mentioned above about the clk-gating
debugging because we also spent lots of time for issue analysis.
I just finished some fault injection for this patch in our platform, the
results are fine.
The active window of this patch is limited: Starting from
ufshcd_link_state_transition() in ufshcd_suspend to ufshcd_vops_resume()
in ufshcd_resume() because the link is back to LINKUP state in MediaTek
resume callback. So I was focus on injecting errors in our callbacks
between this period and most of injected fails triggered host and device
reset flow.
For example,
Suspend: UniPro PowerDownControl timeout
Resume: hba_enable timeout
Resume: UniPro PowerDownControl timeout
Resume: HIBERN8 Exit timeout
Hope these tests can ease your concerns.
