** Description changed:

  [IMPACT]
  
- Here are the kernel and cli updates we discussed in email related to
- LaunchPad Bug 1855303 to have a complete Broadcom Emulex FC lpfc
+ In the run up to 20.04 release, Broadcom wants to ensure that customers
+ running ubuntu 20.04 have the proper support when using Emulex
+ Fibrechannel cards to use NVMe over FC.
+ 
+ This updates nvme-fc and nvme with cherry picks from 5.5 upstream that
+ didn't land in time for the upstream 5.4 release.
+ 
+ Deferring this request would delay customers using NVMe over FC until
+ February when the first HWE for Focal is released, roughly 9 months from
+ now.
+ 
+ Here are the kernel and cli updates broadcom requested via email related
+ to LaunchPad Bug 1855303 to have a complete Broadcom Emulex FC lpfc
  12.6.0.x solution.
  
- Please pull these into Ubuntu 20.04.
- 
- Thank you
- Laurie
- 
- Expected that ubuntu is pulling in kernel v5.4  as a base.  These would
- go on top of that.
