PCI ID table in DAC960

PCI ID table in DAC960

[Brian King]

Christoph,

You added support for the "GEM series" of DAC960 controllers
sometime last year. These controllers use the same PCI chip
as some ipr adapters. The pci id table that got added to DAC960
was:

 .vendor = PCI_VENDOR_ID_MYLEX,
 .device = PCI_DEVICE_ID_MYLEX_DAC960_GEM,
 .subvendor = PCI_ANY_ID,
 .subdevice = PCI_ANY_ID,

which collides with several ipr adapters.
The chip is a common chip that was used by both Mylex and IBM.
Do you, or anyone else on this list, have the list of subvendor/subdevice
entries for this adapter so we could update the pci id table appropriately? 


Thanks,

Brian

I just ported over support for that chip variant from a forked and renamed
version of the DAC960 driver that IBM released.  I've never actually seen
the hardware.  The best thing would be to try to find if any person involved
with it is still at IBM.

Otherwise I could ask the person I ported the changes for what subdevice/vendor
his card has, but there might be more.
