[PATCH RESEND 0/6] hpsa: support legacy boards

2017-08-08 Thread Hannes Reinecke
(Resend to include linux-scsi) Hi all, this patch adds support for legacy boards, ie for boards previously supported by cciss only. With this patchset the hpsa driver should work with all Smart Array boards if the 'hpsa_allow_any' module option is set, rendering the cciss driver obsolete.
