I do appreciate that you're studying the FIXME comments but at this
point I'm not sure whether blindly chasing them and asking people
whether they're still necessary is a productive thing to do. If
they're actively misleading, sure, let's remove them, but FIXME in a
sata_mv function which prints some controller identification
information just doesn't matter. If you can assert that the comment
is no longer necessary and misleading, please submit a patch with
backing rationale; otherwise, obsessing with each instance of FIXME
comment doesn't seem to be a particularly productive way of
participating in kernel development.

Thanks.
