Hi Martin,

Since the issue addressed by this patch series concerns a controller
bug, please use the SCSI core BLIST mechanism instead of introducing a
new sysfs attribute. A sysfs attribute could be misconfigured. BLIST
attributes however are set from inside the kernel and hence do not need
help from userspace. See e.g. c360652006bb ("scsi: devinfo:
BLIST_RETRY_ASC_C1 for Fujitsu ETERNUS").

Thanks,

Bart.
