Here are several patches(7) which follow this email.
These patches are for the mpt fusion scsi host drivers, which separate the scsi host drivers into separate bus type kernel modules. This was requested by several people on the linux-scsi@ forum, so our driver can properly support the various transport layers; e.g. SPI, FC, and eventually SAS. In these set of patches the Fiber Channel controllers are moved to a new driver called mptfch.ko. The current Parallel SCSI controllers will remain with mptscsih.ko. Eventually we will be adding SAS support in the new modules that will be mptsash.ko.
Overview of patches (1) mptlinux-3.03.00-1-misc - Kconfig and Makefile changes, for new separated drivers. (2) mptlinux-3.03.00-2-mptscsih-c - delete mptscsih.c , code moved to mptcore.c (3) mptlinux-3.03.00-3-mptscsih-h - delete mptscsih.h, code moved to mptscsi.h (4) mptlinux-3.03.00-4-mpt-core-c - formerly mptscsih.c. This will be compiled linked between mptscsi.c and mptfc.c (5) mptlinux-3.03.00-5-mptscsi-h - formerly mptscsih.c (6) mptlinux-3.03.00-6-mptscsi-c - SPI driver, having only module_init, module_exit, and probe. (7) mptlinux-3.03.00-7-mptfc-c - FC driver, having only module_init, module_exit, and probe.
Please apply this patch against the 3.01.20 version of the mpt driver in http://linux-scsi.bkbits.net:8080/scsi-misc-2.6
