Hi Avri,

My concern is that the code that is being added in the abort handler
sooner or later will evolve into a duplicate of the regular completion
path. Wouldn't it be better to poll for completions from the timeout
handler by calling ufshcd_transfer_req_compl() instead of duplicating
that function?

That quote comes from the following document: "Universal Flash Storage
Host Controller Interface (UFSHCI); Version 2.1; JESD223C; (Revision of
JESD223B, September 2013); MARCH 2016".
