Re: [PATCH] scsi_dh_rdac: Add dynamic match functionality to rdac handler

Babu,

So, in effect, any SCSI devices with INQ C8 page with "edid" would be
treated as a rdac device, right ?

Is that enough to identify _any_ SCSI device as a rdac device (even in
future) ?

Also, instead of repeating the code, can you use submit_inquiry() ?
