This patch is addressing an inconsistency in the patches already accepted into 5.18/scsi-staging in Martin's repo.
A number of Bart's patches had the same effect as the patch you're objecting to here. Hence,
$ git grep "cmd_size.*scsi_pointer" drivers/scsi/a2091.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/a3000.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/fdomain.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/gvp11.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/imm.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/mvme147.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/pcmcia/nsp_cs.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/pcmcia/sym53c500_cs.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/ppa.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer), drivers/scsi/sgiwd93.c: .cmd_size = sizeof(struct scsi_pointer),
Since that series was very popular with reviewers, and being that this patch is just more of the same, I have no idea as to how to proceed.
Are you asking me to rework Bart's series? Or are you asking Martin to drop it, or both, or neither...
