I should have written "if a driver is in the tree, it should be fair game to improve it." I think I'm missing something in this exchange. Are you 1) Pointing out that the qlogicfc is obsolete and shouldn't be used? If so, thanks for the tip. 2) Suggesting that no changes to qlogicfc should be made? If so, I think it should be removed from the tree altogether. 3) Objecting to my patch because it is incorrect? If so, please give me a hint about what the problem is. 4) Something else?
