>> David - The backup and restoring of the MSIX vector capabilities registers across diagnostic reset was only needed for our pre-production cards (A0 parts). It was a workaround for some hardware errata. This is not needed anymore as there was a fix addressed before those controllers when to production, so I finally removed this workaround in the driver during phase 10 in the LSI in-house drivers, which was about 10 months ago. Attached is my commit for the in-house drivers. You should be able to remove the save_msix_table and restore_msix_table routines as I did.
