As Sumant mentioned earlier we will check if it is possible to
allow random delete and still allow the devices to be seen.
With this patch we will be blocking a feature that is possibly
used with the legacy driver. The applications may still allow random
delete and that could create more issue if we just block it/change the
required behavior from the driver.
So, for now I don't want this patch to be added. Will check &
submit a separate patch to address the issue.

Subject: [patch 07/13] Dell CERC support for megaraid_mbox
From: Hannes Reinecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Newer Dell CERC firmware (>= 6.62) implement a random deletion handling
compatible with the legacy megaraid driver. The legacy handling shifted
the target ID by 0x80 only for I/O commands (READ/WRITE/etc), whereas
megaraid_mbox shifts the target ID always if random deletion is
supported.
The resulted in megaraid_mbox sending an INQUIRY to the wrong channel,
and not finding any devices, obviously.
So we disable the random deletion support if the offending firmware is
found.
