According to FC-LS-3 (Fibre Channel Link Services) 6.3.2.4
"N_Port Login - No Fabric present", if both parties in the point-to-point
connection know N_Port_Names of each other, Nx_Port with the highest
N_Port_name shall transmit PLOGI. The specification sets no restrictions
on the port role that should send PLOGI.
However, FCP-4 (Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI, Fourth Version) 6.2
"Overview of Process Login and Process Logout", instructs that in
point-to-point topology, initiator shall send explicit PRLI ELS.
The change fixes stuck P2P login, when target WWPN is higher than
initiator WWPN.
