Public bug reported:

This request was lost, unfortunately, so I'm resubmitting and at this
poing would need to be SRU'd into 5.3 for 18.04.4 to avoid customers
needing to wait until August for 18.04.5 to land.

The following patches are in 5.4 and Microsemi have asked to have them
pulled into 5.3 to update the SmartPQI driver that we carry.

391a24179423 scsi: smartpqi: bump version
48edb8780100 scsi: smartpqi: update copyright
63a7956ae1e8 scsi: smartpqi: add new pci ids
9946a3987248 scsi: smartpqi: correct REGNEWD return status
71ecc60d9ba4 scsi: smartpqi: add gigabyte controller
530dd8a7a2b1 scsi: smartpqi: correct hang when deleting 32 lds
2d2ad4bc724e scsi: smartpqi: add bay identifier
6d90615f1346 scsi: smartpqi: add sysfs entries
522bc026f013 scsi: smartpqi: add module param to hide vsep
8bdb3b9c67c5 scsi: smartpqi: add pci ids for fiberhome controller
5e6a9760f7da scsi: smartpqi: add module param for exposure order

All are clean cherry-picks into Eoan/master-next from 5.4 and do not
touch anything outside of Microsemi's smartpqi driver.

Impact:
Most Ubuntu customers prefer the simplicity of using inbox drivers over 
out-of-box drivers Microsemi provides.  To do that well, we should keep that 
inbox driver moving forward.  If we don't make the updates this time, 18.04 
customers would be waiting until ~ August 2020 for 18.04.5 update.
