Hi Konrad,

Thanks for the review. There are scenarios where ufshcd_link_startup() 
can call ufshcd_vops_link_startup_notify() multiple times during 
retries. This leads to the PHY reference count increasing continuously, 
preventing proper re-initialization of the PHY.

Recently, this issue was addressed with patch 7bac65687510 ("scsi: ufs:
qcom: Power off the PHY if it was already powered on in 
ufs_qcom_power_up_sequence()"). However, I still want to maintain a 
reference count (ref_cnt) to safeguard against similar conditions in the 
code. Additionally, this approach helps avoid unnecessary phy_power_on 
and phy_power_off calls. Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
Nitin
