+ Request to backport cxlflash patches to 16.04 HWE Kernel

** Description changed:

- ---Problem Description---
- We have few cxlflash patches upstream that we would like to be included in the Ubuntu 16.04 HWE kernel. Below patches are in next/master lined up for 4.15 kernel.
+ == SRU Justification ==
+ IBM is requesting these three cxlflash patches in the Ubuntu 16.04 HWE and newer
+ kernels.  All three patches have now landed in mainline v4.15-rc1.

- d84c198f43c50c6c0bd57571acbf0f000165bd56 scsi: cxlflash: Derive pid through accessors
+ These commits fix bugs in the existing code - missing VPN could disable a
+ card and the write same sector size.
  
- Please let me know if there are questions/concerns.

+ 
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ Medium.  These patches are not limited to one arch, but they are limited to cxlflash.
+ 
+ == Test Case ==
+ A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by the original bug reporter.
+ The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
