Change the UIC command timeout to 2 seconds.
This extra time is to allow the uart occasionally print long
debug messages and logging from different modules during
product development. With the default hardcoded 500ms timeout,
the uart printing with interrupt disabled may cause the UIC command
interrupt get starved, resulting in a UIC command timeout and
eventually a watchdog timeout.
When a product development completes, the vendors may
select a different UIC command timeout as desired.

Given the description of patch 1, the addressed issue is not specific to
a single vendor. Is that correct?
Since the described issue is only encountered during development, why to
modify the UIC command timeout unconditionally?
Thanks,
Bart.

The issue we are trying to address is not specific to a single vendor.
Any vendor would have a freedom to choose the UIC command timeout. At
different times during their product development, they can choose
different UIC command timeout, or use the default 500ms. It's the
flexibility we would like to give to vendors.

The vendors can enjoy the default 500ms UIC timeout if they prefer.
As long as they don't write to hba->uic_cmd_timeout in the vendor's
initialization routine, the default value of 500ms will be used.

Since this issue is not vendor specific, I think it would be better to
modify the UFSHCI core driver only. Has it been considered to introduce a
kernel module parameter for setting the UIC command timeout instead of the
approach of this patch? As you probably know there are multiple mechanisms
for specifying kernel module parameters, e.g. the bootargs parameter in the
device tree.
Thanks,
Bart.

Since the problem statement is "During product development...", why not just a debugfs?

The proposal here uses similar implementation as the auto hibern8 timer
(hba->ahit). The ahit mechanism has been working well and stable, so I
thought why not keep using it? Let see if other members have any
comments about kernel module parameter/bootargs suggestion.
Thanks, Bao

Hi Avri, if I am not mistaken, debugfs is not available at the initial
stage of ufs probe/init time right?
