RE: megaraid_sas: "FW in FAULT state!!", how to get more debug output? [BKO63661]

[Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>]

Hi Kashyap,

Thanks for the patch. May I ask what tree it was based on? Linus'
latest? I am trying to apply it to the SLES 11 SP3 and SLES 12 kernel
trees (based on kernel v3.0 + a bunch of backports and v3.12
respectively) but your patch fails to apply in both cases. I'll try
harder but I don't know anything about the megaraid_sas code so I really
don't know where I'm going.

Does your patch depend on any other that may not be present in the SLES
11 SP3 and SLES 12 kernels?

Thanks,
Jean
