What id and channel is this DVD drive on?  There is a potential bug in
the move:

-mptscsih_writeIOCPage4(MPT_SCSI_HOST *hd, int channel, int id)
+mptspi_writeIOCPage4(MPT_SCSI_HOST *hd, u8 channel , u8 id)

Note int became u8, but later we have:


	pReq->PageAddress = cpu_to_le32(id | (channel << 8 ));

channel << 8 is always zero as a u8 entity (unless something promotes
the arithmetic beyond u8).  So if the DVD is on a non-zero channel, we
might have our cause.
