What you quoted in the commit message is true for power mode change (gear, lane
etc...), but clock scaling involves scaling up/down the HCI clock inputs as
well, which is not covered by the JEDEC spec and is vendor specific. And this is
where the discrepancy lives.

Qcom UFS HCI also allows power mode change with in-flight traffic, but scaling
the clocks is not supported. I'm not sure about other vendors here.
