Agree, this is not a good fix for Sk hynix nvme, so Dell is still pushing
Sk hynix to fix it from firmware.
But before the firmware is ready, this is still a issue that need to be fixed in
kernel side, and the new firmware may not be applied on the old nvme
modules.
This list won't keep growing, and we'll keep an eye on the new firmware and
co-work with engineers from Sky hynix to make sure this issue won't happen
again.
