1. The definition of fWriteBoosterBufferFlushEn is that host allows
device to do flush in anytime after fWriteBoosterBufferFlushEn is set as
on. This is not what we want.

Just Like BKOP, We do not want flush happening beyond host's expected
timing that device performance may be "randomly" dropped.

2. Another related concern is that currently fWriteBoosterBufferFlushEn
may keep on while device is not in Active Power Mode during suspend
period. I am not sure if such configuration would confuse the device.
