I'd like to request the 2 patches below to be backported to the 5.6 and 5.12 kernels. Other stable kernels are fine. The fixes were recently merged into linus's tree:
scsi: lpfc: Remove NVMe support if kernel has NVME_FC disabled This can cause device connectivity failure. commit c80b27cfd93b
scsi: lpfc: Reduce log messages seen after firmware download This was causing overruns and headaches on consoles that were very slow. commit 5852ed2a6a39
They are relatively minor but have been significant enough in testing to be desired.
Please let me know if they can be backported and if I can help in any way.

5.6 and 5.12 are long end-of-life, see the front page of kernel.org for the active kernel trees please.
kernels. Other stable kernels are fine. The fixes were recently merged into linus's tree:

This one applied to 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, and 5.16 ok.
scsi: lpfc: Reduce log messages seen after firmware download This was causing overruns and headaches on consoles that were very slow. commit 5852ed2a6a39
This only could be applied to 5.10 and newer stable kernels. If you want any of these applied to older kernel trees, please provide working backports.
thanks,

I'm good with 5.10 and newer stable kernels, and 5.4 with the 1st patch.
Thank you.
