Some LLD standards requires DBD field to be set to 1.

Which LLD standard are you referring to? Please mention at least one
name of such a standard in the patch description.


Hi Bart, Thank you for your review.

The LLD standard here is UFS. I will update the commit message and re-upload it later.

Thanks,

Can Guo

Change-IDs should be left out from upstream patches. Does the presence
of this ID mean that this patch has not been verified with checkpatch?
From the checkpatch source code:

# Check for unwanted Gerrit info
if ($in_commit_log && $line =~ /^\s*change-id:/i) {
ERROR("GERRIT_CHANGE_ID",
"Remove Gerrit Change-Id's before submitting upstream.\n"\
. $herecurr);

Sorry, forgot to remove the change-id.

Since this patch by itself has no effect, please resubmit this patch
together with the LLD patch that sets set_dbd_for_caching.
