Christian,
The faulty patch (Commit: 395e5df79a9588abf) from 2017 should be
repaired with Konstantin Khorenko (1):
scsi: aacraid: resurrect correct arc ctrl checks for Series-6
It would be great to get this patch resubmitted by Konstantin and acked
by Microchip.
Does the patch need to be rebased?
James, i have just checked - the old patch (v3) applies cleanly onto latest master branch.
Based on this it looks like someone at microchip may have already reviewed:
v3 changes:
* introduced another wrapper to check for devices except for Series 6
controllers upon request from Sagar Biradar (Microchip)
Well, back in the year 2019 i've created a bug in RedHat bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1724077
(the bug is private, this is default for Redhat bugs)
In this bug Sagar Biradar (with the email @microchip.com) suggested me to rework the patch - i've done
that and sent the v3.
And nothing happened after that, but in a ~year (2020-06-19) the bug was closed with the resolution
NOTABUG and a comment that S6 users will find the patch useful.
i suppose S6 is so old that RedHat just does not have customers using it and Microchip company itself
is also not that interested in handling so old hardware issues.
Sorry, i was unable to get a final ack from Microchip,
i've written direct emails to the addresses which is found in the internet, tried to connect via
linkedin, no luck.
