Hi Stanley,

Actually, I thought about the way you reommand.

But I guess the author's intention here is to update the AH8 timer
only when current runtime status is RPM_ACTIVE. If it is not RPM_ACTIVE,
we just update the hba->ahit and bail out, because the AH8 timer will be
updated in ufshcd_reusme() eventually when hba is resumed. This can 
avoid
frequently waking up hba just for accessing a single register.
How do you think?

Thanks,
Can Guo.
