Here, when hba->pm_op_in_progress is true, there cannot be READ or WRITE
command since hba is resuming or suspending. When fatal erorr happens,
the
DID_BAD_TARGET above is intend to let the SSU (or whatever PM requests
blocking suspend/resume) fail fast (neither returning HOST_BUSY nor
letting
the cmd pass through can achieve such purpose), so that error handling
prepare
won't get stuck [1] when it calls

lock_system_sleep()
runtime_pm_get_sync()

The reason why I split UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED to
UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_FATAL
and UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_NON_FATAL is that

1. For non-fatal errors, HW can recover by itself, so when host state is
UFSHCD_STATE_EH_SCHEDULED_NON_FATAL, cmd can still passthrough.

2. When non-fatal error (LINE-RESET for example) happens, error handler
only
needs to do a power mode transition without a full reset. If we only
have one
state, returning HOST_BUSY will get error handling prepare stuck [1],
while
fast failing SSU cmds shall make error handler do a full reset (which
goes
too far for non-fatal errors).

Thanks,

Can Guo.
