While reviewing this patch I noticed few cleanups can be made. I sent
them here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20241030102715.3312308-1-tudor.ambarus@linaro.org/
Feel free to include them in your set if you're going to respin. Or not,
if you don't want to tie your head with cleanup patches. I can respin
them on top of yours later on.
