Fwd: Lexar NM790 SSDs are not recognized anymore after 6.1.50 LTS

[Cláudio Sampaio]

Hi, Keith... Just to give you guys a response concerning this, I'm
sorry for the late reply -- too much work. But yes, you are correct,
due to having tried patching the kernel in different days and too much
stuff going on at the same time, I applied this two-line patch to the
same source where I have applied the other patch that multiplies the
timeout by 2 and occurs at an earlier time on activation. I thought I
had an unpatched kernel at the time and ended up compiling it this
way. Sorry for the mistake, but I also saw that now there's a better
patch for the issue.
