This still does not justify "let's generate it in the kernel".
Once an admin specifies to use an alternate WWN provision, the method
used to obtain that WWN is an implementation detail and irrelevant.
But you're arguing that the kernel should generate it to "help out"
SAS drivers with HW that has had it's MS/NVRAM erased or corrupted.
The kernel has no business generating SAS WWN.
Perhaps you missed the English text "once an admin specifies" in the
quoted email.
Was your "once an admin specifies" reply to my email
supposed to be "Oh, I see, generating a SAS WWN in the kernel
is not that good an idea after all. I'll implement it
as a kernel/module option." ?
The admin will have the option to auto-generate a WWN, should they so
desire.
