This has been asked for many times before. The deal is we don't support the MegaRAID software raid controllers with the mptsas driver. The firmware and BIOS that goes on the megaraid controllers is developed and tested by the MegaRAID team, and designed to work with the megasr driver. So if you were to add those device ids to mptsas mainstream drivers, our division of LSI is not going to be able to provide support those configurations; in other words, we have never validated those controllers with mptsas driver, and our driver is not guaranteed to work either, and we will not be able to process any issues reported by those device ids like 0x59. You probably should contact the MegaRAID maintainers like Bo Yang, and ask for megasr drivers that work for your kernel. I think they have SHIM drivers which is a mix of source code and intellectual property isolated to separate binary, allowing you to compile for other kernels.

It's not currently supported by the Linux kernel, but appears to be working with the mpt fusion sas driver. echo "0x1000 0x0059" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mptsas/new_id brings the chip online. It seems I'm not the only one with this chip, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-731366.html http://bugs.gentoo.org/325805 http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=236721 (patch to add the device ID) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519373 and more. Since LSI seems to only provide closed source drivers for far obsolete and limited "enterprise" distribution kernels I'd suggest the inclusion of the PCI IDs into the kernel.
