Hi Can,

SUSv4 = Single UNIX Specification, Version 4. This is a standard that
defines how system calls should behave. Hence, ENOTSUPP must not be
returned as an error value by e.g. sysfs callbacks. As far as I know the
ufshcd_vops_pwr_change_notify() return value is never returned to user
space and hence returning ENOTSUPP from inside this function is fine.

If you want to keep this change in ufshcd_vops_pwr_change_notify()
please make it a separate patch.

Thanks,

Bart.
