This change empowers the Firmware. This allows the Adapter Firmware to override the Adapter product information. The information before this modification was table driven by the PCI Product ID. In some cases the change is merely for OEMization (IBM 8i or ADAPTEC 4005SAS), in other cases we have the 'family' match that permits the driver to attach to all future adapters, and without this change the Adapter would be designated the mundane name of "ADAPTEC RAID" rather than the name that the Firmware reports. -- Mark Salyzyn - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
