However: I really think that this patch should be squashed with patch 2/8.

Sure, the changes in this patch will make it harder to backport...
but, even patch 2/8 will be a pain to backport...

And this patch will need to have CC: stable and be backported as well...
(such that we always set CHECK_CONDITION when CK_COND=1), so I strongly
suggest that we should squash these, since it will probably be way simpler
to backport the patch that is "patch 2/8 squashed with this patch",
compared to backporting patch 2/8, and then backporting this patch.
(That would just give two patches that will need manual backport, rather
than one patch that needs manual backport.)

Both of these are fixing incorrect sense data for ATA passthough commands
anyway.


Kind regards,
Niklas
