e3ce73d (scsi: ufs: fix bugs related to null pointer access and array
size) changed the returned value from 0 to -EINVAL in case of NULL "hba"
in ufshcd_runtime_suspend().

But you are right, above patch may do the right thing, and the real root
cause is the incorrect timing of pm_runtime_enable().

I will fix commit message in next version.
