The troublesome commit are (in reverse, so revert, order):

5df7ef7d32fe ("uas: bump hw_max_sectors to 2048 blocks for SS or faster drives")
558033c2828f ("uas: fix sdev->host->dma_dev")
0154012f8018 ("usb-storage: fix sdev->host->dma_dev")

Alan, the reason for reverting these is that using scsi_add_host_with_dma() as the
last 2 patches do, with the dmadev argument of that call pointing to the device
for the XHCI controller is causing changes to the DMA settings of the XHCI controller
itself which is causing regressions in 5.10, see this email thread:
