Hi Greg,

This series includes two patches:
- A backport of "scsi: ufs: Remove dead code".
- A backport of "scsi: ufs: Fix a deadlock in the error handler"

Although the first patch is a code cleanup patch, I have included it in this
series because the second patch depends on it.

An Android developer requested a backport of the second patch to the
android13-5.15 stable tree.

Please consider these patches for inclusion in the 5.15 stable tree.

Thanks,

Bart.

They also are required in the 5.16 stable tree, so that no one upgrades
kernel versions and hits a regression.  I have added them there as well.

thanks,
