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...
