Subject: RE: [PATCH v3] mptlan: add checks for dma mapping errors

There is no fusion based network card and resources exists today in
Avago(LSI) to test this patch so we prefer to leave it as is. We would
like to prevent any new changes on MPT (FC/SCSI/SAS/LAN) drivers as we
don't have support for those cards anymore, is there a way we could
remove those drivers from newer kernels or mark them as unmaintained?.
Thanks
Sathya

Yeah, I'm inclined to leave it as is.
If somebody provides a Tested-by: I'll reconsider.
