In the above sequence, does [2] perhaps refer to aborting the SSU
command submitted in step [1] (this is not clear to me)? If so, how
about breaking the circular waiting cycle as follows:
- If it can happen that SSU succeeds after more than scsi_timeout
  seconds, define a custom timeout handler. From inside the timeout
  handler, schedule a link check and return BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER. If the
  link is no longer operational, run the error handler. If the link
  cannot be recovered by the error handler, fail all pending commands.
  This will prevent that ufshcd_abort() is called if a SSU command takes
  longer than expected. See also commit 0dd0dec1677e.
- Modify the UFS error handler such that it accepts a context argument.
  The context argument specifies whether or not the UFS error handler is
  called from inside a system suspend or system resume handler. If the
  UFS error handler is called from inside a system suspend or resume
  callback, skip the lock_system_sleep() and unlock_system_sleep()
  calls.

Thanks,

Bart.
