Hello,

FYI, there is a bug in all(?) 3.x fusion drivers, which prevents it from 
working when all the fusion config options are set to 'y'.

It looks like the driver uses schedule_timeout() for delays inside, 
which can return immediately on the boot stage and thus drives are not 
detected properly.

At least the following verions are affected:
3.03.07
3.02.62.01rh

And according to recent commits it was not fixed since then.

Thanks,
Kirill
