** Description changed:

  [IMPACT]
  
  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.
+ This will enable NVMe over FC on Broadcom Emulex FC controllers on
+ Focal.
  
- Here are the kernel and cli updates broadcom requested via email related
- to LaunchPad Bug 1855303 to have a complete Broadcom Emulex FC lpfc
+ Note this is dependent on and requires this bug as well, which updates
+ the Broadcom lpfc driver and completes the Broadcom Emulex FC lpfc
  12.6.0.x solution.
