Right. So " ufshcd_auto_hibern8_enable" is no longer an appropriate name.
Maybe ufshcd_auto_hibern8_set instead?
Thanks for your comment. I am ok with the name change suggestion.

Also, did you verified that no other platform relies on its non-zero value?
I only tested the change on Qualcomm's platform. I do not have other platforms to do the test.
The UFS host controller spec JESD220E, Section 5.2.5 says
"Software writes “0” to disable Auto-Hibernate Idle Timer". So the spec supports this zero value.
Some options:
- We could add a hba->caps so that we only apply the change for Qualcomm's platforms.
This is not preferred because it is following the spec implementations.
- Or other platforms that do not support the zero value needs a caps.

Thanks,
