23 i. Added Reboot notify
24 ii. Reduced by 1 max cmds sent to FW from Driver to make the reply_q_sz same
25 as Max Cmds FW can support

31 i. Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
32 New varible added to set dbg level.
33 ii. Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
34 iii. Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
36 iv. Tasklet added for cmd completion
37 v. 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.
38 vi. megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
39 vii. Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

51 i. Added support for ZCR controller.
53 New device id 0x413 added.
55 ii. Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
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.

90 i. Register 16 byte CDB capability with scsi midlayer
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."

102 i. 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>
117 ii. Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.
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"
