Hello Christoph,
While I agree that the pattern isn't especially beautiful,
the pattern is used in the SCSI layer already,
authored by none other than one of the SCSI maintainers themselves:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blame/v6.3-rc6/drivers/scsi/sd.c#L3066-L3074
I guess we could try to clean up all the occurrences of this pattern,
but considering that the pattern has existed in the SCSI layer for
10 years already, is it something that has to be addressed before this
series can be accepted?
Kind regards,
Niklas
