Searching the vendor Web site, there is *Linux Driver Source
1.2.1-53005* available for download [1].
The latest upstream driver version is 50740. We will be reaching
version 53005 in couple of patch sets ( ~ 3).

Thank you for the details. At our infrastructure we only want to
use LTS Linux kernels, and the latest in 4.14. So right now, Linux
4.14.6 includes version 50834 [1], which is the same version
currently in Linus master branch (4.15-rc3). Is that save to use
with async mode, or are you aware of problems and we should always
use the latest out of tree driver, which is at version 55022 and
can be download from the Microsemi server [3].
Well at this point I am in the process of creating a patch set that
solves a kdump regression issue(Should be out before the new year),
other than that the upstream driver is pretty much up to date. If
kdump support is a must for you I would recommend that 55022 be
used.
We tried Linux 4.14.13, and noticed a difference. My colleague commented
as below [1].
Here is the location info of the missing sys-fs parts
short way, where as the `device` part is missing:
```
#ls -la /sys/class/enclosure/7:0:80:0/Disk001
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 0 Jan 10 13:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root system 0 Jan 10 13:07 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 active
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 0 Jan 10 13:08 device -> ../../../../../../../port-7:1/end_device-7:1/target7:0:65/7:0:65:0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 fault
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 locate
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 0 Jan 11 12:56 power
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 power_status
-r--r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 slot
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 status
-r--r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 type
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4096 Jan 11 12:56 uevent
```
The true location would be:
```
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:04:00.0/host7/port-7:16/end_device-7:16/target7:0:80/7:0:80:0/enclosure/7:0:80:0/Disk001
```
Could you point me to a commit bring the in tree driver on par with the
out of tree driver?

Kind regards,
