Re: [PATCH] cciss: firmware version is invalid

[Stillwell, Bryan]

Tim,

Thanks for getting this merged, but I believe this patch is preferred
over the original one I attached:

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/cciss-fix-regression-firmware-not-displayed-in-procfs-again-and-again.patch

The reason for this according to Mike Miller is: "The first fix could be
called anytime something changed on the controller such as number of
logical volumes, etc.  This patch will get called only once for each
controller."

Thanks,
Bryan
