JEDEC spec mandates that the power mode changes (gear, lane, etc...) can
happen while the traffic is on-going. But clock scaling done by the ufshcd
driver involves not just power mode change, but also scaling the vendor HCI
clocks as well. And that is what causing issues on Qcom platforms, as our UFS
controller doesn't support scaling HCI clocks during live traffic. I'm not sure
about other vendors here.
