6i. PCI_DEVICE macro used
7
8 Convert the pci_device_id-table of the megaraid_sas-driver to the PCI_DEVICE-macro, to safe some lines.

11ii. All compiler warnings removed
12iii. megasas_ctrl_info struct reverted to 3.02 release
13iv. Default value of megasas_dbg_lvl set to 0
14v. Removing in megasas_exit the sysfs entry created for megasas_dbg_lvl
15vi. In megasas_teardown_frame_pool(), cmd->frame was passed instead of
16 cmd->sense to pci_pool_free. Fixed. Bug was pointed out by

213 Older Version : 00.00.03.03
22
23i. Added Reboot notify
24ii. Reduced by 1 max cmds sent to FW from Driver to make the reply_q_sz same
25 as Max Cmds FW can support
26
271 Release Date : Tue Aug 22 16:33:14 PDT 2006 - Sumant Patro <Sumant.Patro@lsil.com>
282 Current Version : 00.00.03.03

31i. Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
32 New varible added to set dbg level.
33ii. Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
34iii. Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
35 3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
36iv. Tasklet added for cmd completion
37v. If FW in operational state before firing INIT, now we send RESET Flag to FW instead of just READY. This is used to do soft reset.
38vi. megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
39vii. Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

50
51i. Added support for ZCR controller.
52
53 New device id 0x413 added.
54
55ii. Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
56
57 Interrupt is enabled after required initialization is over.
58 This is done to ensure that driver is ready to handle interrupts when
59 it is generated by the controller.

78
79i. Support for 1078 type (ppc IOP) controller, device id : 0x60 added.
80 During initialization, depending on the device id, the template members
81 are initialized with function pointers specific to the ppc or
82 xscale controllers.

90i. Register 16 byte CDB capability with scsi midlayer
91
92 "Ths patch properly registers the 16 byte command length capability of the
93 megaraid_sas controlled hardware with the scsi midlayer. All megaraid_sas
94 hardware supports 16 byte CDB's."

101
102i. New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
103 The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.

115 - Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
116
117ii. Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.
118
119 "MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE can't be redefined if CONFIG_COMPAT is set, we need to define a MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 define so native binaries continue to work"
