Hi,
Let me chime in and give you some context. Once upon a time there have been
two LSI/Avago/Broadcom SAS HBA drivers called mpt2sas and mpt3sas. Luckily
they got merged and so we only have to fix bugs in one file instead all of
it's copies. This was around commit c84b06a48c4d8ac8270624453132f3fa1a4a0f9d
which went in v4.4. This patch looks like the mpt2sas version of above fix for
stable kernels before the mpt{2,3}sas unification (a.k.a pre-4.4).
Hope that helps.
Byte,
Johannes
