Right.
But it is a small price, and you no longer need to worry about rare error event.
Also adding an if (fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate == 1) will allow some more flexibility,
e.g. shutting it off from user-space (ufs-utils), unlike today,
that it is categorically on for all platforms / devices.

Anyway, if you decided to add new capability,
Preferable to do it in a different series.

Thanks,
Avri
