Well, definitely not yet; you seem to have missed the memo on readq:

  CC [M]  drivers/scsi/cxgbi/cxgb4i/cxgb4i.o
drivers/scsi/csiostor/csio_hw.c: In function ‘csio_hw_mc_read’:
drivers/scsi/csiostor/csio_hw.c:194:3: error: implicit declaration of
function ‘readq’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

It's only defined on platforms which can support an atomic 64 bit
operation (which is mostly not any 32 bit platforms) ... so this could
do with compile testing on those.

To see how to handle readq/writeq in the 32 bit case, see the uses in
fnic or qla2xxx

You also have a couple of unnecessary version.h includes.

Since you're a new driver, could you not do a correctly unlocked
queuecommand routine?  You'll find the way you've currently got it coded
(holding the host lock for the entire queuecommand routine) is very
performance detrimental.

You have a lot of locking statements which aren't easy to audit by hand
because there are multiple unlocks.  Things like this:

csio_scan_finished(struct Scsi_Host *shost, unsigned long time)
{
	struct csio_lnode *ln = shost_priv(shost);
	int rv = 0;

	spin_lock_irq(shost->host_lock);
	if (!ln->hwp || csio_list_deleted(&ln->sm.sm_list)) {
		spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock);
		return 1;
	}

	rv = csio_scan_done(ln, jiffies, time, csio_max_scan_tmo * HZ,
			    csio_delta_scan_tmo * HZ);

	spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock);

	return rv;
}

Are better coded as

csio_scan_finished(struct Scsi_Host *shost, unsigned long time)
{
	struct csio_lnode *ln = shost_priv(shost);
	int rv = 1;

	spin_lock_irq(shost->host_lock);
	if (!ln->hwp || csio_list_deleted(&ln->sm.sm_list))
		goto out;

	rv = csio_scan_done(ln, jiffies, time, csio_max_scan_tmo * HZ,
			    csio_delta_scan_tmo * HZ);

 out:
	spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock);

	return rv;
}

It's shorter and the unlock clearly matches the lock.  You could even
invert the if logic and just make the csio_scan_done() conditional on it
avoiding the goto.

I'd also really like the people who understand FC to take a look over
this as well.
