Patch Review

**Verdict: Correct fix, minor subject-line nit.**

The bug: In `sahara_hello()`, when building the `HELLO_RESP` packet to send=
 back, the code was reading the mode from `context->rx->hello_resp.mode` in=
stead of `context->rx->hello.mode`. Since this function handles an incoming=
 `HELLO_CMD` (not a `HELLO_RESP`), the received packet's payload should be =
accessed via the `.hello` union member.

Looking at the struct definition at `sahara.c:63-98`:

```c
union {
    struct {
        __le32 version;
        __le32 version_compat;
        __le32 max_length;
        __le32 mode;
    } hello;
    struct {
        __le32 version;
        __le32 version_compat;
        __le32 status;
        __le32 mode;
    } hello_resp;
    ...
};
```

Both `.hello` and `.hello_resp` have `.mode` at the same offset (the 4th `_=
_le32` field in the union), so **in practice the old code would read the co=
rrect value**. This makes it a correctness/readability fix rather than a fu=
nctional bug fix. The commit message says "Fix" which implies a functional =
bug; it might be more accurate to describe this as "Use correct union membe=
r" to avoid overstating the impact.

**Nits:**

1. **Subject line missing colon**: The subject reads `accel/qaic Fix HELLO_=
RESP...` but kernel convention is `accel/qaic: Fix HELLO_RESP...` (colon af=
ter subsystem prefix).

2. **Commit message could note no runtime impact**: Since the union layout =
means both members alias to the same offset, the commit message could menti=
on that the old code happened to produce the correct value but accessed the=
 wrong semantic field. This helps reviewers understand the actual risk leve=
l.

Otherwise, the one-line change is obviously correct =E2=80=94 the entire re=
st of `sahara_hello()` consistently uses `context->rx->hello.*` to access t=
he received packet fields (lines 299=E2=80=93302, 306, 309=E2=80=93311, 315=
=E2=80=93319), and only the mode assignment on the old line 322 was the odd=
 one out.

**Reviewed-by worthy**: Yes, with the subject-line colon fix.
