From: Kevin Barnett <kevin.barnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The ID we want to remove from the aacraid driver will not be available until Q1 next year,
so no customer currently has it yet. If they are running an older kernel, the aacraid driver
will support this ID but in 'sync' mode, their servers will continue to boot.
If they upgrade to a newer kernel and do not know to configure the smartpqi
driver and the system fails to boot, they can fall back to the previous
kernel and configure the smartpqi driver.
This patch is for newer kernels going forward. We need to eliminate the
duplication for newer kernels. If both drivers support the same ID
they will have to know how to rebuild their initrd with a specific driver
order. Customers that have servers configured with both older aacraid devices
and the newer smartpqi devices will definitely have to do this. Having to
rebuild the kernel with smartpqi enabled would seem to be an easier
customer experience.
The officially supported driver for this ID is smartpqi.
This patch has been applied to 4.10/scsi-queue
