Dear John,
The driver which you found in the kernel was forked off of my
main development git tree, by bottomley, changed privately by him
and then committed to the kernel. It is loosely maintained by
him and linux-scsi.
The driver which I maintain keeps the FW code as u8[] in the
source, implements the SAT standard, i.e. supports SATA devices,
and "just works". As I mentioned, it is being used by product
vendors who build on top of the aic94xx chip and as far as I know,
by at least one distro, for stability reasons.
Depending on which version of the driver you use, you should
forward questions to the appropriate party maintaining it.

No worries, you just didn't know.
Best wishes,
Luben
