Ok, so I learn from my mistakes, do you plan on building upon this in the
foreseeable future with a follow-up series you haven't sent yet, but have on a
local branch? Because if not, I don't really see a point in returning a string
which only gets free'd on the function exit - checkName should probably become
something like "isVHBA" and return boolean. And even if you do have a follow-up
on a local branch, I still think that converting the return value should be
part of that series, solely because until then, @scsi_host_name wouldn't have
any meaning.
