Regarding to this patchset, it is mainly to fix the dependency between
nvme_timeout and nvme_dev_disable, as your can see:
nvme_timeout will invoke nvme_dev_disable, and nvme_dev_disable have to
depend on nvme_timeout when controller no response. Till now, some parts
of the patchset looks bad and seem to have a lot of work need to be done.
