As far as I know runtime power management support in the sd driver is working
fine and is being used intensively by the UFS driver. The following commit was
submitted to fix a bug encountered by an UFS developer: 05d18ae1cc8a ("scsi:
pm: Balance pm_only counter of request queue during system resume") # v5.7.
I'm not sure which bug is causing trouble on your setup but I think it's likely
that the root cause is somewhere else than in the block layer, the SCSI core
or the SCSI sd driver.
