Hi,

Probably better to ask on the linux-scsi mailing list [added].
Also added the lsi.com email address.

drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_scsih.c contains this:

/* Liberator ~ 2108 */
{ MPI2_MFGPAGE_VENDORID_LSI, MPI2_MFGPAGE_DEVID_SAS2108_1,
PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID },
{ MPI2_MFGPAGE_VENDORID_LSI, MPI2_MFGPAGE_DEVID_SAS2108_2,
PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID },
{ MPI2_MFGPAGE_VENDORID_LSI, MPI2_MFGPAGE_DEVID_SAS2108_3,
PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID },

so it looks like there is at least some basic support for the 2108.
