This seems to do a whole lot more then just dropping back from
 scsi_add_host_with_dma() to scsi_add_host(). This has way more
lines then the orginal commit.

IMHO it would be best to just revert commit 0154012f8018bba4d9971d1007c12ffd48539ddb
and then submit these changes as a separate patch (which would be
5.11 material then).

That separate patch could then also have a proper commit message
explaining the other changes you are making, which is also not
unimportant.

Regards,

Hans
