ASO stands for (Advanced Steering Operations), it handles the reply
protection and in case of failure it provides the syndrome, yes I agree the
commit message needed some work.
Now given the series is focused on reworking the whole reply protection
implementation and aligning it with user expectation, and the complexity of
the patches, I did agree to push it to net-next as the cover letter
claimed, I am not sure what the severity of this issue in terms of
security, so I will let Leon decide.
