Looks good to me except one comment below.

RDAC patch checker sends inquiry on each path to check path status, which eventually marks this path as up. If this path is from owning controller then mode select will be issued to switch the pathgroup. But any I/O sent to this path(path with size 0) will eventually fail in sd_prep_fn due to incorrect device size and resulting to ping pong between pathgroups. We should only allow valid paths to get added in the map. Below patch checks two cases before adding paths; i.e.:

This patch also check if the device size is not 0 before adding path. During device discovery if READ_CAPACITY fails, sd device get attached with device size 0. multipath should not allow the such device to get added in the map.

Appropriate error message for the two different cases (pp->size = 0 and
mpp->size!= pp->size) would be the right thing to do, IMO.
