Hi, James I send 5 patches for pm8001 in 18th Nov, and It still out of misc tree. I resend this patches by separate these patches to one fix in one patch and along with other minor fix. These patches are: 1/9 : Fix for sata io circular lock dependency. 2/9 : enhance error handle for io patch, when the port is down, fast return phy down for it. 3/9 : fix endian issues 4/9 : set SSC down-spreading only to get less error on some 6G device. 5/9 : fix potential NULL pointer dereference 6/9 : bit set pm8001_ha->flags 7/9 : do not reset local sata as it will not be found if reset. 8/9 : enable read HBA SAS address from VPD 9/9 : misc code cleanup Because of mail client issues I will send the patch both in content for reviewing and in attachment for applying.
