Subject[PATCH 02/11] cciss: Fix problem with remove_from_scan_list on driver unload
From
Date
From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@beardog.cce.hp.com>

cciss: Fix problem with remove_from_scan_list that on driver unload
it doesn't remove the controller from the scan list correctly if
the controller is currently being scanned for new devices.
