Hello Greg,

Seeing that this fix failed to be backported to 4.14, 4.19, 5.4, 5.10 and 5.15,
simply because of a single pointless VPRINTK() call,
may I suggest that we cherry-pick this very small dependency commit:

93c7711494f4 ("ata: ahci: Drop pointless VPRINTK() calls and convert the remaining ones")
for all the stable kernels listed above.

After that, the original git commit can be cherry-picked to all stable kernels
listed above without conflicts.


Kind regards,
Niklas
