We've had another late arriving bug fix:
commit ff4abd6cfacf0bb23a077f615d3a5cd17359db1b
Author: David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Aug 24 22:25:58 2007 -0700
[SCSI] esp: fix instance numbering.
Because the ->unique_id is set too late, the ESP scsi host
instance numbers in the kernel log during probing are
wrong.
Bug reported by Meelis Roos.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Which I've added. The diffstat is now:
