From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
The advansys driver was converted to the proper DMA API in linux-4.2, but
the 3.18-stable kernel still warns about this:
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:71:2: warning: #warning this driver is still not properly converted to the DMA API [-Wcpp]
The warning clearly is not helpful in 3.18 any more, it just clutters up
the build log. This removes the warning instead, and clarifies the
comment above it.
