Description?  Since libsas has no firmware, surely some explanation is
required.
Indeed.  Looks bogus at first glance?


I was finding all requested but not exported firmware in scsi driver for generating dump initrd use. In sas_scsi_host.c, request_firmware is called with "sas_addr", sas_addr neither builtin nor exported. Don't sas_addr a firmware? Please correct me. thanks

No, it's not requesting any firmware ... it's a slight misuse of the
firmware mechanism that allows a libsas based driver to be given a SAS
address if it doesn't have an internal nsvram to store one.

I see, thanks
