Bug Description
[Impact]
Drivers for the HiSilicon Hi1616 and Hi1620 SoCs continue to be under active development, including both hardware enablement and bug fix patches. 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-
