Corrected the description of this bug that SSD will not do GC after receiving shutdown cmd. Do GC before shutdown -> delete IO Q -> shutdown from host -> breakup GC -> D3hot -> enter PS4 -> have a chance swap block -> use wrong pointer on device SRAM -> over program
SSD gets in low power mode only in suspend, this issue only happens in low power mode. As for Hibernate, power off, unbinding the driver or even warm boot, EC boot, SSD won't be in low power state, so there'll be no problem.

The device doesn't receive 'D3hot' from the host, it receives a shutdown request. And we don't just do that when hibernating, but also when doing an actual shutdown, a suspend to disk, unbinding the driver, etc. So if the device has a problem with shutdowns we really are in trouble.
