Thanks for the reminder and sorry for the delay.


I just tested your patch and it works like a charm.


Testing was performed on:

--- snip ---
user@box:~> lsb-release -d
Description:    openSUSE Leap 15.1

user@box:~> uname -a
Linux box.none 4.12.14-lp151.28.59-default #1 SMP Wed Aug 5 10:58:34 UTC 2020
(337e42e) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
--- snip ---


against the Kernel distributed by openSUSE:

--- snip ---
user@box:~> rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-4.12.14-lp151.28.59.1.noarch
--- snip ---


The patch applied and after loading the new uas.ko the HDDs which didn't work before
worked just fine.


I understand the openSUSE Leap Kernel is somewhat different from Kernel HEAD but I'd
assume that for the purpose of this test these differences are acceptable.


Is there anything else I can do to help?


Thanks again and regards -- Till
