As you know, stuff is being rearranged to move more of the SPI-specific
code from both SCSI core and LLDDs into the SPI transport. I suspect
domain discovery will always be triggered by the LLDD for SPI, but at
least a driver doesn't have to have its own code to do that any more.

Only if it can be turned into a some sort of library LLDD may use if it
needs it. But it is only makes sense to move that code out of the LLDD
and into the transport module, if more then one LLDD can make use of it.


...and in this thread, SAS, more than one LLDD -should- be able to make use it of.

ServerWorks/Broadcom SAS+SATA hardware, for which I will soon be writing a driver, has exactly the same needs as Adaptec SAS+SATA hardware.
