Hi Kiwoong, 

I think this should be two patches, each needs different fix tag:

This is true only since 08b12cda6c44 ("scsi: ufs: core: Switch to
scsi_get_internal_cmd()"), v6.19. Before that, a timed-out query went through
ufshcd_wait_for_dev_cmd() -> ufshcd_clear_cmd() and never reached
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task(). you need to add fix tag for it.

I didn't understand why here there is "--", this shoudl be "---"?

this is another patch, and OCS poll patch needs a fixes tag too, for the MCQ
abort support.
