Mainline 5.0rc8 kernel is fine, so it's either something that was broken in mainline between rc1 (when this patch was applied in ubuntu) and rc8, or a general bug in the backporting.

With the amount of flux involved, identifying and cherry-picking individual patches would be more error prone then re-syncing with current upstream. [Test Case] The Ubuntu server certification suite, which includes network and storage tests. [Fix] Backport the localized driver changes up to v5.0-rc1. [Regression Risk] These changes are restricted to the hns and hisi_sas drivers, which only impact the D05 and D06 server development board platforms. To mitigate this risk, we have explicitly tested the proposed changes on these 2 platforms - changes are staged in ppa:pearl2-team/test. Of course, there is risk that these changes introduced regressions that our testing did not catch.
