From d34caa89a132cd69efc48361d4772251546fdb88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter adrian.hunter@intel.com Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 11:59:16 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: ufs: core: Add a quirk to suppress link_startup_again
ufshcd_link_startup() has a facility (link_startup_again) to issue DME_LINKSTARTUP a 2nd time even though the 1st time was successful.
Some older hardware benefits from that, however the behaviour is non-standard, and has been found to cause link startup to be unreliable for some Intel Alder Lake based host controllers.
Add UFSHCD_QUIRK_PERFORM_LINK_STARTUP_ONCE to suppress link_startup_again, in preparation for setting the quirk for affected controllers.
