Thanks, but no thanks. Don't remove these header files. These are the mpi header files that define the interface between firmware and drivers. This set of headers are bundled with each flavor OS, and we are constantly providing update files when changes occur. With respect to mpi_log_fc.h - this defines the loginfo for fibre channel protocal. This is a easy lookup to for LSI Logic customers to better understand the kind of errors returned from firmware, and help reduce number of support generated request, as the end user can merely lookup the unqiue id in the header file. mpi_inb.h, is header for fibre channel protocal definii ng the inband-management interface, and maybe implemented some day.
