Maybe I misunderstand, but doesn't set_host_byte only set the host byte but leave the other 3 parts untouched in c->result?

static inline void set_host_byte(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd, char status)
{
	cmd->result = (cmd->result & 0xff00ffff) | (status << 16);
}

In contrast, assigning something to c->result resets all parts.
If so, the semantic patch would introduce a subtle semantic change.
Unless it's guaranteed that in all the touched cases, c->result always has 0 for status, message, and driver byte before calling set_host_byte().

Bart's suggestion also sounds nice.

FYI: Originally, I only thought about using set_host_byte in that one place fix of yours; I did not expect a full framework rework.
