Michael and team,

Some history for the context:

- Sep 2022 we submitted the bug with updated lpfc patch set on Jammy tree (master)
- Oct 2022 the patches got integrated into kinetic kernel (non-LTS) but Jammy had merge issues.
- Dec 2022 we got asked to rework the lpfc patches since Jammy kernel tree has moved ahead.
- Dec 2022 we reworked on the lpfc patches on Jammy tree's (master-next) repo (submitted 97 lpfc patches)
- We also tested the sandbox kernel build and did a basic EVT on Jammy kernel before patch submission.
- May 2023 we are again asked to revise the list of lpfc patches due to changes in their Jammy kernel tree

At this junction we have done our due diligence to work with Canonical to get our driver updated. We are not in a position to commit additional resources to reworking these patches again with no guarantees it will lead to a successful outcome and we have not received any customer support issues on this OS since it GA'd a year ago.

We will leave it up to Canonical to do what they will with the patches provided.

Should a customer critical issue arise, we will deal with it at that time.
