[PATCH] ufs: sysfs: fix current_power_mode read without SSU

From: Yiwei Lin

Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 13:48:11 EST


current_power_mode was generated by UFS_ATTRIBUTE(), which calls
ufshcd_rpm_get_sync() before issuing the query.

That resumes the UFS device WLUN, and ufshcd_wl_runtime_resume() sends
START STOP UNIT to bring the device back to Active. As a result
bCurrentPowerMode always read back as 0x11 (Active) no matter what
state the device was actually in. Sleep could never be observed through
sysfs.

Per the UFS spec, bCurrentPowerMode is the one attribute the device
must answer in any power mode, so there is no need to wake it.

Tested on hardware: with the device runtime-suspended, reading
current_power_mode used to return 0x11; after this change it returns
0x22 (Sleep), matching the device's real state.
