Hi Martin, James,

Is there some way in this patch can be merged for 5.11 via the SCSI 
tree? It has a dependency on the earlier patches in the series, now 
picked up via irqchip tree. I've seen multiple rounds of SCSI pull 
requests before, but not sure when we have that or if the tree is 
rebased for those.

Thanks,
John
