Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
New issues:
- [High] The driver now fails to probe on platforms where the UFS PHY is not defined in the device tree, breaking backward compatibility.
- [High] Returning an error late in PM runtime callbacks leaves the device in an inconsistent state and breaks PM state synchronization.
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The return values of `phy_power_on()` and `phy_power_off()` are ignored, which can lead to unbalanced PM runtime counts and hardware state corruption.

scsi: ufs: mediatek: Use the common PHY framework
This patch refactors the MediaTek UFS driver to use the common PHY framework
to acquire the device's PHY during ufshcd init, ensuring it is device-linked
to the correct device.

[Severity: High]
Will this cause the driver probe to fail on platforms where the UFS PHY
is not defined in the device tree?
The original ufs_mtk_bind_mphy() tolerated -ENODEV to allow for unbound
mphys since not all platforms require specific mphy control. By switching
to devm_phy_get() instead of devm_phy_optional_get(), won't this return
-ENODEV and fail the probe if the "phys" property is missing, breaking
backward compatibility with older device trees?

[Severity: High]
Does returning an error here leave the device in an inconsistent state?
If ufshcd_runtime_suspend() succeeds, the main UFS controller hardware is
fully suspended (clocks gated, link hibern8). If ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on()
fails afterward, this returns the error to the PM core.
Since the PM core intercepts the non-zero return as a runtime suspend
failure, it leaves the software state as RPM_ACTIVE. If the software
thinks the device is active while the hardware is actually suspended,
won't the next hardware access skip runtime_resume and cause a system
hang or bus error?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() safely
handle phy_power_on() failures?
Looking at ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() in drivers/ufs/host/ufs-mediatek.c:
static int ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on(struct ufs_hba *hba, bool on)
{
...
if (on) {
ret = ufs_mtk_09v_on(host);
if (ret)
return ret;
phy_power_on(mphy);
} else {
phy_power_off(mphy);
...
host->mphy_powered_on = on;
return 0;
}
If phy_power_on() fails, it cleans up its runtime PM and does not
increment the power_count, but ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() ignores the return
value and still sets host->mphy_powered_on = true.
When ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on(hba, false) is called later, it will blindly
call phy_power_off(). Won't this decrement the PHY's power_count
(potentially underflowing it), corrupting the PHY driver's PM usage
counter and causing an unbalanced PM state?

[Severity: High]
Could a failure here cause similar PM state inconsistencies?
If ufs_mtk_mphy_power_on() fails during runtime resume, returning an
error without rolling back the prior partial initialization (such as
ufs_mtk_mtcmos_ctrl) might confuse the PM core. Does this need to clean
up previously resumed components before returning?
