Thanks James,

The e-mail broken lines of the description. I am changing the description to avoid re-submit all the patches(5 of them).

Also

> megasas_complete_cmd(struct megasas_instance *instance, struct
> megasas_cmd *cmd,
> u8 alt_status);

Not patch line(already in the src, but more than 80 chars).

Regards,

Bo Yang

This patch is full of line breaks which prevent application, like this
one:

Since not every long line is broken, this looks like some type of cut
and paste error ... anyway, could you fix it up, please?

Thanks,

James
