I suppose that these patches are upstream, right? Can you provide the commit IDs to them. It helps Canonical to cherry pick them.

Sending patches through usually works for non upstreamed patches and for urgent issues. Ideally we want to provide commit IDs and Canonical can cherry pick from upstream.

I think we can't apply upstream patches as-is on distro version. Hence Ankit attached backported patches. For reference upstream commits are :

diags: Fix endianess issues

SES enclosures follows network endianess. It works fine on big endian
machines but fails on little endian machines.

Unfortunately I didn't realize this issue earlier :-(

This patch addresses endianess issue across diagnostics code except
7031-D24/T24 enclosure... which is not supported on little endian
systems.
