From: Suganath Prabu S <suganath-prabu.subramani@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e2fac6c44ae06e58ac02181b048af31195883c31 ] Do not cancel current running firmware event work if the event type is different from MPT3SAS_REMOVE_UNRESPONDING_DEVICES. Otherwise a deadlock can be observed while cancelling the current firmware event work if a hard reset operation is called as part of processing the current event.
