From: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx> commit 0956ba63bd94355bf38cd40f7eb9104577739ab8 upstream. A commit introduced formal regstration of all Fabric nodes to the SCSI transport as well as REG/UNREG RPI mailbox requests. The commit introduced the NLP_RELEASE_RPI flag for rports set in the lpfc_cmpl_els_logo_acc() routine to help clean up the RPIs. This new code caused the driver to release the RPI value used for the remote port and marked the RPI invalid. When the driver later attempted to re-login, it would use the invalid RPI and the adapter rejected the PLOGI request. As no login occurred, the devloss timer on the rport expired and connectivity was lost. This patch corrects the code by removing the snippet that requests the rpi to be unregistered. This change only occurs on a node that is already marked to be rediscovered. This puts the code back to its original behavior, preserving the already-assigned rpi value (registered or not) which can be used on the re-login attempts.
